SUBWAY • 1 • 2 • 3
By G.H. Hovagimyan
The subway is a defining urban experience across cultures. Underground
and in the subconscious, every rider experiences a disjunctive
experience when entering one place and emerging in a different one. In
day to day experience, time spent on a subway ride can resemble lost
footage between cuts in a movie. But when a movie includes scenes shot
in a subway, the subway passage becomes a shared, collective experience.
Familiarity with subway scenes from movies have become part of the
contemporary vernacular, creating “Oh I remember that film!” reactions.
Movie scenes shot in subways also trigger deeper feelings as the viewer
defines and redefines personal and shared experiences. In the work I
have created using subway scenes from movies, narrative conventions of
standard film techniques have been removed to further the exploration of
submerged emotions.
The installation includes three video loops of one hour each. The piece
is designed as a three-panel projection with the three loops running
simultaneously. Since the individual movie clips in each loop are of
varying aspect ratios, I selected a standard 1280 x 720 pixel ratio and
fit the clips into that size. By doing that, some of the clips are
squeezed into higher definition and others become pixilated. The use of
translation and codec problems, and the variations produced by varied
definition are an integral part of the work. Visual association, media
memory, and a collective experience can be furthered by asking the
viewer to adapt to differences. Copyright issues are addressed as the
completed artwork is composed entirely of re-purposed cinema found
solely on the Internet.
