Part of a larger interactive game kiosk installation, this presentation at The LGBT Center in Manhattan, consists of two video monitor projections that explore issues of personal displacement, sexuality and identity.
On a personal note, the artist reveals himself not only physically, but also emotionally through the various intersections and convergences of images, sounds and narrative text.
Using screen size measurements and geometric connections as the foundations for this part of the installation, Canonge establishes an ongoing dialogue where national origin, sexual orientation, and cultural attitudes come together and collide.
The poetic language used in both visual narratives are accompanied by remastered traditional ethnic sounds of Middle Eastern religious tunes.
