Martin Papcun has been working with a South Bronx family originally from Puerto Rico, to creates “… We carry it on,” a complex slide projections out of the family’s window that overlays vistas from their native country onto their current street view. “From the windows of the house are projecting 4 slide projectors in direction in to the street pictures of same view, as Libertad and Monxo had in Puerto Rico, from houses they grow up, from they past homes. In short distance from the house are hanging mirrors over the street, reflecting projected pictures back in to the windows where are framed half transparent screens. In the look through are projected pictures on the screen overlap with reality viewed on the street in the same time. “Feelings, memories and moments from our past homes are stuck in our memory. Sometimes, for a brief moment, an eyewink, we go back, and suddenly past overlaps with present”. The multi-layered projection illuminates the many realities we always carry with us. __________ Pri projekte ...We carry it on...Martin Papcún spolupracoval s rodinou z južného Bronxu, ktorej členovia sú pôvodom z Portorika. Komplexná projekcia fotografií z rodnej krajiny sa tu prekrýva s odrazom z diania na ulici. "Pocity, spomienky a chvíle z našich minulých domovov sú vryté v našej pamäti. Niekedy, iba na zlomok sekundy sa vraciame späť, a tak sa v našej mysli prekrýva minulosť so súčasnosťou. Tieto komplexné projekcie upozorňujú na množstvo paralelných realít, ktoré v sebe nosíme.
