CONVERGENCE - Nancy Davenport

Nancy Davenport, #1 still from Weekend Campus DVD (2004)
Weekend Campus is the product of a buildup of images.  Layer upon layer have created this visual stream of information relating youths, car crash scenes, and large blocky campus buildings together.  Continuously scrolling, this amalgamation of still images becomes a background loop as it is set in motion.  Davenport's work is neither a film, nor a photograph, yet it is built and utilizes aspects of both mediums.  By looping her still image, she has done away with an end and a beginning, rejecting the formal constraints of a photograph's borders and a film's length.  The viewer is ultimately held in suspension.
