Transcendental Smoothie |
Transcendental Smoothie is a 6 channel video installation by the collaborative husband and wife team of Hillerbrand+Magsamen. Using balloons as an alternative material to project into, onto and around, the image transforms into mesmerizing spheres of personal and psychological interaction that transform the videos into a sculptural space. These giant balloons become thin, transparent membranes that are simultaneously delicate, explosive and serene. Backlit, abstracted images of our children rolling and cutting out cookie dough transform the balloons into planetary bodies floating through the space. They are lenses that examine not only the role of the photographic image but our lives as well and how we form our children’s identities and struggle with our own.
