Bikini Project

Gallery 101, Ottawa

2006

looping digital projection

approx.  6' x 8'

294 found snapshots projected as a looping digital slide show. A photo album containing these images was found floating in Howe Sound, Canada by log Salvor Erik Hammond. Water has distorted many of the images, the majority of which are comprised of women at the beach. Handwritten inscriptions occasionally indicate the name, date and/or location of the woman depicted, as in “Janis, Tribune Bay, Hornby Island”. The archive consists of international shots taken over the last four decades. Selected projection stills below:  

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Travel Shots

Struts Gallery, 2008

looping slide projection

approx.  3' x 5'

 

140 slides projected as a looping slide show. The images were chosen from a family slide archive donated Brian Letvad who wished to rid himself of the collection eight years after going blind. A large number of slides were damaged during storage. The slides were taken on road trips across North America, Europe and Japan throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s by Jan Letvad for presentation to his family. The images chosen highlight the photographer's use of the car windows to frame his images. Selected projection stills below:
