How do maps influence our ways of thinking? What structures do they enforce? Borders can be based on geographical features or be arbitrary, but they're drawn by those who hold power - imposed across land and between people.
Ambit is a video installation commissioned by the Art Gallery of Ontario for the show “Every. Now. Then. Reframing Nationhood,” a group show critiquing the phenomenon that was "Canada 150". This piece is shown on two monitors side by side, with synced images showing the view from the roof of the AGO, and a corresponding map of the same view, with a white hand drawing a thick border line around the property boundary of the museum.
Installation instructions: Should be presented on two matching monitors or projections, beside each other horizontally, in sync.
