How can I present the possibility of escape all while exposing its impossibility? Work around the physical body, metaphysics, prosthetics, illusion and language has all arisen out of this search. I am currently working through video, sculpture, and photography to best describe the concepts at hand. For example, in my video<\/em>&nbsp;We Have Lift Off,&nbsp;<em>I am trying to highlight a communication gap between dog and person through the continuous futility exhibited in the scene. Pigeon, the dog, has no framework for understanding what I am showing him, yet he is wholly eager to please. In the piece,<\/em>&nbsp;Levitation Chair,&nbsp;<em>there is a similar sense of failure. Presented is a chair floating above a floor, yet the apparatus that enables it to do so is entirely exposed. Hopefully, this creates a layer of demystification atop the initial marvel of a floating chair. I am attempting to illustrate complexities in communication\/interaction\/language, expectations about art, and how we might attempt to make something impossible, possible, all while exposing its impossibilities.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/levine_black_hole1_small.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"363\"><strong><br>Cara Levine<\/strong>, From the series&nbsp;<em>Black Hole\/Native Place?, What&#8217;s Your Native Place, 2<\/em>, Yelehanka, Bangalore,<br>India, July 2011.
