Lack of Interior Perspective
March 14 - April 25, 2026

Behind a curtain, behind an unfinished wall with a locked door, there is a spinning view of a glorious sunset at a shoreline. With this site-specific installation, ralph salazar considers the current state of the country she calls home and the complicated emotions surrounding it. For this work, salazar performed a sustained series of cartwheels while wearing an action camera strapped to her chest. Attempting to play like a child at the beach, salazar questions the absurdity of normalcy while fascism, war, and genocide rage on. The installation creates a space inaccessible and demands a disconnected experience.
