IMAGE: Owen Kydd, Retail Composition, 2013, video on two 40" display with media players

This is an arrangement of objects that were found in retail environments near my studio in South Los Angeles. Pieces were brought back and filmed, then arranged in digital layers to create the final picture. Each object has its own duration, such as 12 seconds or 2 minutes, which means the piece as a whole is made up of different time signatures. It is an attempt to create a picture that has duration, but no fixed time.
