Installed for a day in and around a 40 foot shipping container on the waterfront in Staten Island, Container was a projected image from a video feed that appeared to be of the nearby skyline view of Manhattan and the New York Harbor. The video feed was actually from a surveillance camera trained on a photograph inconspicuously placed alongside the trailer. The photograph was changed hourly to mimic lighting conditions over the course of the late afternoon / early evening. Installed at Lumen international video art and projection festival, Staten Island, NY June 26, 2010
