Tall Ships

You enter a long, dark corridor. Indistinct luminous shapes seem to move in place on the walls.Then a human figure rises, walks towards you, stands and gazes at you, becomes almost intimate with you before turning back whence it came. In this award-winning interactive installation created by video projection, world-renowned artist Gary Hill presents an underworld-like journey from which each visitor returns to daylight somehow transformed. In the second in an ongoing series of the Quasha & Stein dialogue with Gary Hill, this highly readable text leads you on an initiatory journey, beautifully illustrated in duotone to give a living sense of the actual installation in the Whitney Museum (New York) and many other museums throughout the US and Europe.
