▷ this video is documentation of the installation entitled falling for you
▷ 
the central feature of this installation was a white, full sized ten-step staircase installed in a black corridor that was only several inches wider than the staircase itself
▷ projected on the staircase is a video loop of the artist ascending a similar staircase and then falling down them
▷ the projector in the installation was positioned in a location that corresponded to the location of the camera during filming, creating a 1:1 correlation between the actual event and the projection
▷ at the top of the staircase a walkway extended an additional four feet into the corridor
▷ at the end of the walkway a large monitor showed a second video loop
▷ this second loop was recorded by a video camera held in the artists hand as he walked up and fell down the stairs
▷ these loops ran in sync so the action corresponded accurately, showing two simultaneous but different views of the event
▷ participation in this piece was encouraged by a small sign at the entrance to the corridor which read ‘please feel free to climb the stairs’
