Life Cycle - Don Simmons

- Contemporary art slide show projected on storefront window, viewed only at night. - This slide show normally runs for about 20 minutes for one complete cycle with each image shown for about 8 seconds. In this documentation the video fast forwards to show one full cycle in about 2 minutes. The landscape image is a photo of an area in Newfoundland near where I grew up. The succession moves to a more painterly rendition much like Group of Seven impressionist painting. The image keeps changing to more abstract imagery, similar to biological illustrations of organisms and diseases. These images return back to their beginning to start over again in a cycle of memory, change and deconstruction.
