This Must Be The Place Beeler Gallery, Columbus College of Art and Design
September 7- October 29, 2017




This Must Be The Place, 2017, 5-channel video and sound installation, drywall architectural sections, projection paint, and sandbags, dimensions variable.






Kim Faler: This Must be the Place, features a video and sound installation that is a large-scale projection of a very small moment.

Based on the Mary Oliver poem “I Go Down to the Shore”, this installation explores water and its container, amplified in scale & dismantled onto multiple screens. As the water rises & falls, anticipation & its release are pressed against one another in a cyclical pattern, making the unknown consistently known.

I Go Down to the Shore,
by Mary Oliver

I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall–
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.
