Every Single Inch of Ground

personal projects

Created a month before the 2016 US Presidential Election, Every Single Inch of Ground is a pixilation animation based on Susan B. Anthony’s remarks on the importance of ancestral women in gaining the freedoms and privileges of present-day women. To acknowledge this gained ground, as well as express a more inclusive solidarity, I chose to invite men and women to mark every inch on which we stood. It was photographed in a single day by way of a twelve-hour dolly shot with participants standing along the path from the middle of Mt. Hope Cemetery to where Anthony is interred.

 

Every Single Inch of Ground premiered at the Museum Van Loon in Amsterdam in 2016 as part of the NYFA group show Borderless: In Time, and also exhibited concurrently at Lite-Haus Galerie in Berlin as part of Borderless: In Perspective.
