Nicole Cohen:
Jet Lag

Nicole Cohen employs layers of imagery, combining a projected image with a still photograph. By separating out and then conflating these layers, she speculates on the ways interior spaces affect psychological states and social constructions of behavior. In Jet Lag, Cohen projects imagery of people interacting in two different rooms of a luxurious, slickly decorated Lear jet. As the people socialize and inhabit the two spaces, the action slips back and forth from one image to the other and from one space to the next. As the two images are separated, this allows for a disjunction or lag in the fluidity of the imagery and the action.
