Kelly Rauer - Weight
sound score, videography
Sound design and videography for Kelly Rauer's multichannel installation — capturing the artist leaping, jumping, and crawling through the empty space of a blank, sunlit studio. Video projections and televisions of various sizes arranged throughout the gallery: viewers surrounded by stuttering sequences and asynchronous rhythmic gestures, unable to see all screens at once — or any screen in isolation.
From rafter-mounted speakers, closely-miked recordings of separate but similar movements mixed with small scattered sounds from the television monitors. The gallery filled with creaky footsteps, bodily thuds, and breathing.
8 video screens, multichannel sound. Camera and sound design: Seth Nehil. The Art Gym, Marylhurst University, Portland OR — January 13–February 15, 2013
