Fleeting Images

Terry Berkowitz states, “Fleeting Images was a multi-media environment which dealt with childhood fears and how they’re translated into the adult’s perception. The piece contained a time bomb (which was placed on an X on top of the pedestal), a story on the wall (relating an actual childhood fantasy/nightmare), and a constructed room containing four mirrors and a soundtape. When a person stood on the X located in the center of the floor of the room, their image was reflected and directed in the mirrors, shortened like a child’s. The soundtape was played in this room.”
