Currently on view at Minnesota Street Project's media gallery is Sean McFarland's video installation, Light, Space, Time Assemblage, 2019. This video frames a large rock off the California coast and the waves gently crashing around it. The work’s three-minute loop is composed of a trio of superimposed single-color projections: The red, green, and blue versions overlap but never perfectly synchronize, giving the otherwise tranquil image a hallucinatory effect. As the individual projectors are turned on at the beginning of the day, the versions start out mostly aligned. But the slight delays between the starting times of each projection compound over the course of the day; the projections slowly fall out of sync, and the colors dissociate. This technical fragmentation echoes a much larger one: The pictured geologic formation may have once been part of the coastline, but over time, due to erosion and shifts in the tectonic plates beneath it, it became detached from the mainland, and now we see it as just one of many rocks dotting the Pacific. McFarland shows how the camera tries and fails to make sense of the lifetime of nature.
