Coffee & Milk, 2:32, 2005-06
Two Channel Video Installation (also shown as a single channel video)

In Coffee & Milk our lives are transformed into something painterly, cinematic and larger-than-life. Images of Stephan blowing milk into coffee and Mary blowing coffee into milk are given an unexpected point of view because the camera is placed underneath us. The images reference both galactic and microscopic views of the world. They could be satellite images of hurricane weather patterns or microscope images of something biological. The pseudo-scientific images provide the viewer with a window to see a personal and intimate moment frozen in time that eventually leads back to larger universal questions of communication between a couple and the incessant call for our attention from our daughter which is represented through the use of a song by Raffi.
