Antipodes III continues a series of works that use rearview mirrors, twisting a line from media theorist Marshall McLuhan’s rear-view-mirror-effect. “We look at the present through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards into the future,” McLuhan once observed. A rearview mirror, suspended in space from the ceiling, is angled and adjacent to the curtains of the film. The work features a recording of a live-stream shown on the mirror, typically used as a back-up cam in a car. Antipodes III is part of an ongoing body of work using a rearview mirror as an intimate viewing experience of sublime and contested landscapes, offering reflection on distance, affect and geopolitics.
