in the group show Persona-Personae….

Media artist CHRISTINA MCPHEE presents large-scale images from her Carrizo-Parkfield Diaries, a meditation on seismic memory and identify along the San Andreas Fault in California. The landscape is a riddle of identity: who is in place, is place persona(e)? Seismic data, together with layers of documentary video stills, film and digital photography imply both a landscape of information and a physical presence. The persona of the artist disappears within the digital trace. Black depths of field absorb and project fragments of traumatic memory. The architectural scale of the prints evokes the ‘big data’ of current natural disasters–the tsunami, Katrina–and the amnesia that follows. She recalls Persephone–the goddess who disappears into the ground, and is reborn in spring–as if to suggest a cybernetic link between site, identity, and memory.

This is the first time that a group of digital chromogenic prints from the Diaries will be seen in New York City.
