MY MEMORIES OF THE HOLOCAUST AND THE FEAR OF,  2001.
STEEL, PLEXIGLAS, CRYSTALS [SODIUM CHLORIDE, COPPER (II) SULFATE AND POTASSIUM HEXACYANOFERRATE (III)], AND 4-CHANNEL VIDEO PROJECTION OF BORROWED LIBRARY DOCUMENTARIES.
FOUR PROJECTION UNITS, EACH 60 X 36 X 24 INCHES. APPROX. 17 X 50 FEET OVERALL.

Installation with the following videos:
A Message to Parents, Princeton, NJ: Films for the Humanities; c. 1987;
The Atomic Café, Los Angles, CA: Thorn EMI Video, c. 1982;
America and the Holocaust: deceit and Indifference, Alexandria, VA: PBS Video, c. 1994;
Memory of the Camps, WGBH Educational Foundation, Alexandria, VA: PBS Video, c. 1985

Videos checked-out from the public library were projected through four crystalline screens, filling the darkened room with both recognizable images and personal accounts of the Holocaust, cold war America and post-fallout Japan. By juxtaposing iconic videos with personal accounts, I hope to raise questions regarding the relationship between first-hand experience, collective consciousness and mediated memory.
