’Revision’ is a site-specific projection mapping that aims to capture the audience by witnessing the slow changes of texture, color, and subtle juxtaposition of raw footage on a historic Boston facade. The piece begins with the original state of the building, then adds texture, color, fire, water, and air, and eventually returns to the beginning. Pamela’s work subtly incorporates the element of music by setting the pace of “revision” to Schubert’s Impromptu, Op. 90 in G Flat Major.

’Skin of a House’ is a site specific projection mapped screening based off of the exterior. The artist approach was to observe and peek behind the curtain in order to extenuate a type of breathing and living that happens within the building. As a result this practice influences the behavior of the facade and how it would act as skin to the living organism of its architecture.
