"Agent of Ruins"(2008) 5 minute video
A female character, or "agent", a misplaced explorer wanders through a demolition site. Themes of searching and discovery are continued, echoing the fragility of human condition as shown in contrast to the desolate landscape highlighted in the video. Shot at the former Westinghouse factory in Newark N.J.
Using a salvaged air vent from the site and video screen, the viewer is led to discover the video through the slat openings of the vent.
