“In her latest series of photographic and video projections, Nicole Cohen expands upon previous subject matter and technological complexity, constructing layered, hybrid multimedia images that are at once intimate and disorienting. Cohen recombines original film, photo stills, and scanned graphics, exploring the relationship between personality, place, memory, fantasy, and history. Achieving a kind of serene chaos and elusive poetry, Cohen's work reflects and embodies in its own form the many ways in which the individual encounters, organizes, and comprehends the information-bombardment of modern life.”
Shana Nys Dambrot, Flavorpill
This video works in Close Encounters, as many of her past projects, stems from a colliding of two different realities performing simultaneously using video projection. "In this exhibition, I was looking for how two different locations, perspectives, time periods could merge and be at the same place at the same time. I would like to find ways to challenge the predictability and expectations and show new ways we might act now in these vintage spaces, using performers and new technologies. By creating a forced synthesis through layering projection and out of focus images, my goal is to discover visual and cognitive solutions through video installation, which examine differences of perceptions from then and now."
