Corridor (2003)

Through a narrative in which action remains relatively static and intrigue is expressed abstractly through the composer John Davis classical music and jazz sound track the womens mundane tasks mirror each other creating a structural parity between the two channels of the installation Each channel not only reflects the other but also correlates to it one womans exit signals the others entrance thus making each image dependent upon the other While the womens homes dress and technological access reveal a centurys worth of creaturecomfort advances the two scenes emphasize the continuities of their moments over what might be the expected narrative of racial progress in the hundred years following the end of slavery Thomas J Lax
