Watch Blurred Lines
Immersive 3-walled multi-channel video art installation at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, created in 2023. This installation explores the complex and nuanced border between Canada and the United States. Through the use of lines, Camilo Silva provides a thought-provoking commentary on the disparate yet striking similarities between these two neighboring nations and invites you to contemplate the complexities of national identity, the power of lines to both separate and connect, and the ongoing dialogue between Canada and the United States. As you step into the space, you are enveloped by three walls, each displaying synchronized, dynamic video projections. These projections use lines as a central motif, symbolizing the geographical boundaries that define and divide Canada and the US. The lines move, shift, and interact in various patterns, reflecting the fluid and often arbitrary nature of borders. The multi-channel setup allows viewers to experience these narratives simultaneously, creating a sense of immersion that mirrors the intertwined realities of the two nations.
