Where in the world am I?
Dominik Bastianello
Our understanding of space is still predominately shaped by Newton’s law of mechanics which regards static space and the continuous flow of time as absolute, autonomous and independent of the viewer. And yet, this notion began losing validity as far back as the early 20th century, as dynamic and observer-dependent spatial concepts such as relativity theory and quantum mechanics began emerging.
In Where in the World am I?, an object and a camera are placed on a double turn table. While the object on the inner plate rotates at a constant speed, the camera on the outer ring can be made to move at varying degrees, ranging from a static state to spinning at the same speed as the object. The resulting video projection depicts "reality" from the viewpoint of the observing camera, revealing a mysterious interdependent and complimentary relationship between the object and its background.
