Doug Aitken: Migration Installation @ 303 Gallery NYC 2008

Walkthrough of Doug Aitken's "Migration" installation at 303 Gallery in New York. “Migration“ is the first in a 3-part cycle of installations titled “Empire”."In “Migration” the movements of wild North American migratory animals are transposed upon the ubiquitous space of modern roadside hotels and motels. As the wild birds and animals inhabit these mysteriously vacant and sterile interiors we’re taken on a haunting odyssey through the contemporary American landscape. With the film alternating between three billboards within the gallery space, the viewer is left to determine his own place in the often desolate and alienating transitory spaces which man inhabits."http://www.303gallery.com/exhibition/index.php?exhid=103&p=pr
