Last Day in the Beginning of March is a rhythmic narrative, a poem, chronicling the last day of the life of the artist’s brother. This work is a large room-sized installation which consists of twenty-six light bulbs suspended from the ceiling and shining onto the floor below, each creating a circular pool of light. Each light bulb is connected to an electronic circuit which contains a fictionalized electronic ‘memory’ of a specific event and which modulates the brightness of each light according to the rhythm of that specific encoded memory. The small electronic chassis which contains the memory is placed near its modulated pool of light. This chassis also has a rear-lit text label revealing to the viewers a description of that specific memory or event. Together all of the text and lights define the non-linear narrative structure of the overall work.
