Protocinema

Paul Pfeiffer presents “Perspective Study,” projecting footage of the construction site on 124-125 Walker St. where the Borough-Based Jail Facility is scheduled to be built. Using the video as a backdrop, Pfeiffer creates an adjunct platform for the voices and positions of stakeholders who have been involved for years in the protest against the jail construction, the construction itself, affordable housing alternatives, and/or the context and history of the site.

Paul Pfeiffer is an artist living and working in New York City, who has been making work in video, photography, installation, and sculpture since the late 1990s. Known for his innovative manipulation of digital media, Pfeiffer recasts the visual language of mass media spectacle to examine how images shape our awareness of ourselves and the world.
