Between the Green Veil, 2022. Digital animation projected on inkjet printed chiffon screens, Dimensions: variable.
STATEMENT
Between the Green Veil connects with themes of exhaustion, in-between spaces, and transparency in a contemporary society that asks too much of our time and energy. Constant demands of movement and production don’t allow us time to stop and contemplate what’s around us. The fast moving animation simulates highway tree lines as thinly veiled facades, highlighting the inability to linger in moments that need our attention. The projection prompts viewers to acknowledge the tree lines as facades and to be critical of what lies beyond them.
Between the Green Veil is made of digital animation projected through inkjet printed screens. The installation gives time and space to interact with a moment that might otherwise pass without notice. Audience silhouettes reveal images beyond the tree line, and viewers are invited to walk in front of and between the screens.

BIO
Jordan Hill is a multimedia artist from the T’Sou-ke Nation. His work alludes to a growing problem within contemporary culture where the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred. How do we navigate a manipulated world where truth is incredibly difficult to locate? Through the intersection of digital and physical environments, he questions the relationship between the notion of both real and virtual subjects. Hill’s work aims to intervene normalized social and spatial assumptions we make upon being introduced to spaces, and in what ways we allow the artificial to undermine our own intuition. Hill is a UVIC MFA graduate and he currently resides in Halifax, NS. |
