LORIE NOVAK installations

"In 1987-88, I created Critical Distance, my first slide installation made to be experienced in its projected form. In my slide installations, larger-than-life images dissolve into each other as they are projected into darkened rooms. The space is transformed as slides cover entire walls, appear on the floor, and move across corners. The continuous emerging and dissolving of images in a darkened room evoke the sensation of thoughts rising and falling in the mind. Exploiting the power of the transitions as one image fades into another, I expanded my ideas concerning the relationships between historical imagery (collective memory) and private imagery (personal memory).
