'The Living Room', 2009 - Built to look like an inviting living space, the loveseat faces a wall with my video work playing. There is an audio tour available for the guests to listen to as they watch the video work and move through the space. Certain tracks on the tour reveal hidden videos inside the installation.
View of video work - Wall of three videos: Left: 'Ag dul sios an staighre': Wearing 1950s ballroom attire, I am continuously running down staircases, there is no beginning or end Center: I am running backwards on a Merry Go Round. Right: Dressed in 1940s travel wear, I wait for a train to arrive. * Video work can been viewed at my site www.karadunne.com
'Waiting', video, part of 'The Living Room', 2009 - Behind the framed print, 'Beautiful Birds, Delicious Desserts, Pigeons and Whoopi Pies', is a video where I am standing in front of fireplaces continuously, waiting. At least 47 fireplaces. approx. 12 minutes.
'Today's Toile' Silk Scren Wallpaper, 2009, 8' x 10' - The Wallpaper behind the mantel place was designed based off of traditional toile pattern, but with contemporary imagery. Silk screen, three colors.
