FloridaRAMA Project
Dialogical Analogs in Chlorine, metal, wood, video
Matthew’s FloridaRAMA experience project is a suspended, kidney-shaped motel pool. While not filled with water, it includes a video projection that examines the feelings of longing that occur when the exotic is mediated, and further, it explores the sense of displacement felt when the mediated is compared to the actual.
