[Still Photos of the Scuplture/Film]
The film is projected onto a screen sculpture made of five rows of polyurethane strips. This creates a three-dimensional viewing space. When the viewer stands close to the screen, the image becomes a jumble of texture, but if the viewer closes one eye or stands further away, the image seems flat on a normal screen. The screen mimics our mind's eye and highlights the subjectivity of the story.

These are some photos of the sculpture taken from various angles.

As Light As Air is a simple fairytale set in Greenpoint & Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The story has a strong sense of place while mythologizing the location, the people and the animals in it. The screen's geometry highlights the geometry of the place, calling out the shapes and textures.

ONCE there was a woman who stopped looking at her husband. She didn’t mean to. It just happened. First she stopped looking at him for a day, then for a week, until years passed since she last saw his face. It made the man feel small. As each day passed, he felt smaller and smaller, until one day, he shrank so small, that he became a little, brown, song bird, and flew away.
