Nocturne with Artist Jeannette Louie

“Nocturne (JeannetteElyseTereseAngelAmandaAlyssaSamuelNora)” is an installation composed of a large garden shed, eight individuals and the video projection of an animation sequence depicting the imaginary subjectivities of the group. The shed transforms into a private cinema for one individual. The individual’s chest serves as the projection screen. During its exhibition, viewers peering through the doorway will be able to see the animated sequence that pictorially represents the mind as it experiences daydreaming. Nocturne… is a collective portrait of thought, primarily the daydreams of teenagers living in a county of Illinois that is undergoing the transformation from rural landscape to suburban sprawl. By undertaking the task of creating a collaborative artwork, unity and integration materialize to represent the simple fact that humanity and self-identification originate from our thoughts.
