About This Piece

Forgotten Landscape is a permanent video installation designed specifically for the new Hyatt Denver Convention Center Hotel in downtown Denver. The installation consists of a custom panoramic nine-video flat screen configuration built into the Hotel architecture displaying High Definition video content. The thirty-seven minute film loop displayed on the video screens explores the spectrum of moods and textures experienced in the obscure corners of the Colorado landscape – areas often overlooked, yet are quintessentially Colorado. A variety of environments – dry grassy plains, plowed fields, an abandoned farmhouse, mountain meadows, creeks and canyons – are associatively composed together to form a new dynamic and creative geography. Experimental techniques are used in the film to represent the act of seeing and recognizing the figurative world, as images emerge from- and dissolve into overexposed shots.
