Description:
' "Vertigo" is an installation by Diana Lorenzo Saxby which uses two film projections to poetic sculptural effect. A trapeze artist swings back and forth in and out of darkness, at times in black and white and then in colour. On one wall the projected image is large and draws closer, creating a sense of imbalance - opposite the projected image is tiny and intimate. The fragility and precariousness of the film loop running between the two projectors echoes the flight of the trapeze artist.'
