between layers

An experience of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial consists of the transition between physical, conceptual and psychological layers. In addition to the physical layers (wall, ground surface, etc.), a walk through the memorial results in a constant shift between different experiences of the wall and the war it memorializes. The individual names on the wall, their accumulated mass, other viewers and views into and from the site result in an experience that is constantly oscillating between these different conceptual layers. The animations study the potential layering of one's thoughts as they engage the wall.
