In late 2009 I collaborated with William Massie, Beverly Fishman and Heather McGill on the design of a VIP lounge for the AXA Corporation at Art Basel Miami Beach. The piece was subsequently acquisitioned into the permanent collection of the Miami Art Museum. These photos document the result of that collaboration.
The documentation below does not show the integrated video. The video was projected on a convex porous screen (the brown wall). This makes the video nearly impossible to photograph on axis. The wall is translucent when looked at directly. It is completely solid when seen from an oblique angle. The effect of this was to dematerialize the video and the wall.
