about
Reflection contains the location recording On The Inauguration Of Barack Obama, made on January 20th, 2009 in New York. It is the audio aspect of the video installation piece of the same name by artist PJ Norman.
The audio recording was made whilst queueing alongside an old woman. The video recording was made whilst walking the streets of Manhattan afterwards. The piece aims to present a general impression of this historic day, and the specific sentiments of one individual. It explores how an historical event can be both timeless and momentary; colored by the participation of the masses and experienced through a single perspective.
The video is processed to reflect the nature of the audio content. It is unmistakably digital and thereby contemporary, yet it is timeworn in its palette and visual degradation. It is a snapshot of the present stylized as a blurred memory; a counterpoint to the monologue of recollections from a woman who was born in a different age and still speaks now.
