Street Views
Single Channel Video, 8 min
Street Views explores how virtual mapping alters experience of space and identity, and uses humor to navigate a surreal, disoriented landscape. A Situationist-inspired, somnambulent drive through the West Village on a summer afternoon, shot entirely within Google’s Street View, the film defies natural laws of perspective, time, and continuity. By retracing her path, our guide discovers that even though all has already occurred, it is never the same twice, and that she can get lost without straying from the map.
