The Lovers, The Dreamers and Me

rainbow-connection

A gallery space contains only seven chairs. It seems as though there is nothing to see, but once all seven chairs are filled a video projection is triggered and The Lovers, the Dreamers, And Me plays. The video projects over the backs of viewers on to the wall in front of them, once this video is triggered it will play out in its entirety even if one member of the group decides to leave. Large projected swatches of color slowly dissolve in and out of one another set to Rainbow Connection performed by Willie Nelson. The projected colored light incorporates the viewer's as their silhouettes become part of the projected image, and the seven individuals who triggered the piece become a unified group, they see themselves as a part of an image.
