Manholes (Brian) is a looped video projection that takes a pan of a male figure and fragments it into a grid of peepholes. The microscopic mapping of the body is intimate yet clinical. The cascading body parts create a kaleidoscope of changing skin tones. It is difficult to find the point of origin on the subject’s body, though occasionally signifiers make it possible; an eye, a nipple or the toes suddenly orient the viewer. This work was first presented in 2011 as part of Art Spin's group exhibition at Gallery 99 in Toronto.
