Installation

Swing (2006)

The photographs shot for Swing were taken during a family reunion. The installation includes a video slide show of individual family members as they attempt to maneuver a swing. The photographs are 52.5" X 30" and hang from the ceiling and high on the walls. A slide show plays from a digital frame, suggesting movement and interaction. There is no sound.

The title “Swing” refers to the dance as well as the playground activity. The piece explores elements of vulnerability, individuality, age and the passage of time. Each person tackles the swing in their own way, some with trepidation, others with exhilaration. Everyone found maneuvering the swing surprising difficult, unlike memories from childhood.
