Interference 2006, Durst Lambda on Aluminum
American artist Leslie Furlong is a photographer and video artist exploring the subject of the ever-transforming landscape and its psychological interpretive effect in shaping our perceptions. Interference is a 3-channel video installation that follows Iceland's perimeter road from the perspective of a car. As it moves through various remote and quintessentially natural Icelandic landscapes its tempo is interrupted by disturbances of our modern day highway symbols- road signs and barriers. Interference attempts to remind us of how most of us experience our landscape- through the window of a car. It explores how the accelerated speed at which we travel creates a shift in our perspective - as our focus becomes on the abstraction of destination rather than the points in between, and in turn how that may shape our direct relationship with our surroundings.
