HOMETOWN CROSSROADS
By Shea Noland & Dulce Mejía Morales
This immersive environment installation showcases overlapped footage of various locations, thus simulating a camera obscura effect. When using 2 video channels and 1 audio input, co-creators Dulce Mejía Morales and Shea Noland generated a rorschach image within a corner of The Grand LA. Dulce and Shea used archival footage from their hometowns (El Salvador and Hawaii) to evoke a sense of nostalgia, which created a literal and allegorical crossroad for the Concrete Oasis Immersive Installation.
