Taree Mackenzie creates abstract videos that play with the viewer’s perception in relation to the video image.
This installation explores how lighting and framing can be used to create simple illusions and tricks. Mackenzie’s videos are the result of manual experimentation in front of a camera. However, the prevalence of digital effects used in most video work today, often causes viewers to assume that her works are also digitally generated. Using real time video projection, the exhibited video is seen alongside the sets used to generate it. In doing so, the artist draws out the links between the work in its final state and the process of production.
Through video and installation, Taree Mackenzie explores the perceptual effects of colour, light and space using simple tricks and abstract forms.
