43 street Treelapse

The first house I bought was on 43rd Street in Pittsburgh In this silent Super 8 triptychprojection I documented the facade of each house on 43rd Street on 36 frames of film center screen while the oldest tree on the streetwhich was in my backyardis shown in timelapse over the course of several days left and right screens These films helped me locate myself along a continuum of time and space relieving an anxiety of ownership with a sense of belonging written by Tara Merenda Nelson
