Remember That You Will Die was an exhibition divided in two: half the gallery was filled with Tibetan Buddhist objects about death, the other half European Christian objects. While typically we would add a centrally located wall for title and introduction, in this case each side of the gallery had its own introductory text and the curator did not want to block the view of a video, which united the exhibition's two halves. Still feeling the title needed to be central to the experience, I worked with the exhibition design and lighting team and created a translucent scrim with the exhibition title which hung in front of the video. The video featured three women under falling water, first in a ghostly black and white, and finally emerging in full color. When the video was black and white, it receded behind the scrim, but when it switched to color the figures appeared in front of the scrim. The scrim wall not only did not block the video, it amplified its presence in the gallery.
