Description: I created a digital environment using the contrasting themes of an elevator and elegance. I constructed a light box with an image containing the knobs off an old elevator. Three video images of an elevator going up and down were projected onto a nine-foot plexiglass box. The performance included me holding a children’s toy that expanded and contracted. Inside the toy were two small cameras that connected to two monitors on the outside of the plexiglass box. There was a continuous sound of an elevator. It is an elevator reaching no destination, an opera with no direction.
