Video Installation at Scottsdale Museum of Contemorary Art.

“Swish Pan,” a new video art installation by Locked Horns’ Paul DeNigris and artist Mark Vinci.The video installation was the focal point of the entrance to SMoCA’s Flip a Strip exhibition which ran from October 4, 2008 through January 18, 2009.

Flip a Strip was a design competition held by SMoCA to “look at options for making strip malls economically viable, aesthetically interesting and communally meaningful.” Designers and architects submitted sometimes radical re-design plans for one of three strip malls in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe, and the exhibition at SMoCA will be showcasing the best of the submitted designs.

DeNigris and Vinci were commissioned to create a video that captured the essence of the competition - the repetitive and banal nature of the strip mall as something we rush past every day yet hardly pay any attention to. The challenge was also to create a video that evoked some of the same visual themes seen in Vinci’s art work.

DeNigris and Vinci shared directing duties; Keegan Ead once again provided timelapse images for the video; DeNigris and Julie Hoefflin were the camera operators.

Luminous Shelter Videos

Three video pieces featuring the work of DeBartolo Architects, Produced in January 2008. The pieces are the first collaboration between Paul DeNigris of Locked Horns Productions and Mark Vinci. Working with us was Keegan Ead producing the timelapse images. The three videos were part of an installation at ASU College of Design. It was great to work with the DeBartolos and to capture a day in the life of these wonderful buildings.
