Surveying Desire II: Prospect & Refuge

Borrowing a term for the ideal placement of human habitation (somewhere that allows both “prospect”—seeing what’s around—and “refuge”—the ability to screen oneself), this work utilized multiple viewing devices mounted on tripods. Large golden curtains created symmetry with the entrance and framed little domes with poignant scenarios. The end walls featured over 150 electric candles that illuminated framed personal ads, paralleling devotional chapels.
