Recovery
2000 16 mm film installation
inside 40' freight container
silent
W 2.65m x H 2.65m x L 13.5m
Housed inside a 40' freight container—the type commonly used for cargo
transportation via rail, truck or ship—the film is screened every 31 minutes
past the hour. The container functions much like an itinerant movie theatre in
the early days of cinema, in that it is a self-contained, potentially mobile unit.
As new technologies, cinema and railways were of the same generation, and
both profoundly influenced and irrevocably altered the perception of time and
space. Recovery is the ostensible regaining of the 29 minutes that were ‘lost
to progress’ in Winnipeg in that December of 1883.
