Time I Change exists as a circuitous loop. The video represents through a single human form the migration to cities in the early 20th Century; the way Detroit and the image of its’ residents changed throughout that century; and the current migration of Detroit’s residents out of the city.
Featuring Detroit-based dancer Stringz, this video was initially released as a segment of the ongoing series The Future is Changing: Rituals for Spatial Transformation. This specific experiment explores the relationship of video to human movement in depicting change.
