Salt Spilled
The private lives of immigrants remain a mystery to the average Canadian. Salt Spilled is a series of video installations that attempt to break open the walls between diverse communities — quite literally.
artist intent.
Salt Spilled was one of the first projection mapping video installations I did, way back in 2014. With this piece, I asked: what would be like to see through your neighbours’ walls? Through a seemingly transparent wall, Salt Spilled invited us to peer into neighbouring moments that would otherwise remain under wraps.
In this now socially-distanced world, where wider social nets cannot be cast – this project has become more relevant than ever.
I’m planning to do other iterations of this concept when the sun gets warmer. Check back for my updates.
Marina Abramovic sits down with the Luminato Festival Artistic Director, Jorn Weisbrodt to discuss the installation.
