Presented and listed as two separate video installations, I was more interested in how they were interacting together, flowing in and out of one another by contrast, saturation and aridity, resolve and resignation. How streaming time can be considered between various densities (water and human v. air and trash) and how one can defy the limits of the other is interesting. The heavier stands by illusion on the surface (trying hard in my mind not to think about Jesus and George Washington); the lighter one glides along, suspended, personifying freedom. Against/With the currents, the message seems to be the same here: whichever way it goes, it's a solitary pursuit.
