My interest is to isolate
individual guidelines of perception. In this body of work, I examine
how we define an object and how through the object we can understand
its original context. What are the forces that act on a body? To what
extent can a presence exist without the space around it? (Boroson,
2003)
Boroson's two projects look
at objects that can be seen as direct signifiers for the actions upon
them. In the star project, Boroson has taken images from the Sloan Digital
Sky Survey (a photographic map of the universe) and removed all of the
"space," leaving the objects to float in a true void. He's then
allowed the stars, galaxies, asteroids, etc. to re-cluster in the middle
of each image. In his recent installations of clouds, constructed of thousands
of hollow glass spheres, the forms that are shaped by atmospheric and
meteorological conditions crystallize, as if time has slowed down, into
a form that resembles bubbles about to pop. These works are based on his
study of the space in-between actions, individuals and events. Boroson
is interested in the non-event, the non-thing, from boundary to boundary.
