MONETARYMOTIONS is a video work that explores the movement of thoughts, perception and relativity through the imagined journey of a coin as it traverses through a visually perceptive journey of a shopping trip. The mixture and layering of form and media is employed to investigate different ways the coin can act as a sculptural object and can carry a multiplicity of purposes. Using rhythm and movement Leena Luu aims to articulate the motion of exchange and transformation in the function of the coin. In the experimentation of film, projection, sculpture and installation, MONETARYMOTIONS expresses the importance of reinterpreting and looking to find new ways to understand phenomena. The work aims to find new ways to question the empirical and spiritual understandings surrounding motion.

FERMVISIONS / LEENA LUU & MARA ERIN STALLER

FERMVISIONS  is a work exploring the affect and structure of surveillance. Today, the same technologies by which we communicate are those by which we are watched. The gaze of friends and the gaze of the state becomes muddled, confused. We are followed by both human and inhuman eyes. The piece investigates this phenomenon in a mode that is both intimate and unnerving. Field recordings, handheld video, surveillance footage, and phone conversations form a collage of a possible reality, but the parts refuse to resolve into a stable whole. What is left is trace, absence, and a questionable sympathy.
