present memory

A portrait of my father after he had been diagnosed with lung cancer. The portrait was filmed in his medical practice using 16mm film, this film was later projected onto the same scene and documented using video. The projection was meant as a literal projection of fears and anxieties, a way of rehearsing his mourning. The work documents a constructed and anticipated memory.
