Tracking Beacon (NY12508)
A new video by Peter O'Kennedy

Showing May 16 – June 12, St.Stephen's Green.

Opening Thursday May 15th 6-9 pm

An abandoned railway track runs through the town of Beacon, in upstate New York. A miniature camera mounted on a small machine built to ride the track records a long, extreme close-up tracking shot of one of the rails as it enters, passes through, and leaves the town. As the machine carries the camera along the track (as the track tracks itself), the sun sets and the piece ends in darkness.
