Percussive Lights with Bathroom Floor #2, one minute excerpt
2014

“The 'Party in the Bathroom' series focuses on the bathroom as a sacred space for both late night revelers and early morning risers. Filmed while flashing the lights in the bathrooms of family, friends, bars, and hotels, the videos transform familiar floor tile patterns into spectacles of illumination. As I filmed the bathrooms, I flashed the lights to capture different shades and intensities in the tiles. In post-production each tile was isolated, and arranged in accordance to its state of light, creating a flickering blanket of independent agents. The scattered gleam of the neatly aligned tiles act as metaphors for the rituals and happenings in the bathroom as well as the constant transformation of the bathroom itself."—N.K.
