The Crawlspace is a conceptual photographic project in which subjects are invited to descend into a crawlspace where short candid video clips are projected on and around them. These candid clips are taken by the subjects themselves or by the artists. Some of the videos are as simple as everyone can find on their phones: a day on the beach with the loved ones; treasure hunt with the grandchildren; niece playing in a fountain at night; visit with grandma; spotting of a fawn. They are photographed during the experience.

This project was conceived during the pandemic as a momentary escape from the anxiety of the pandemic and separation from loved ones. The experience allowed our subjects to redirect their thoughts to another time and place. The crawlspace, isolated and dark under the house, transforms into an unexpectedly intimate space, where subjects share and re-live their memories. The abstract image is the synthesis of subject, video, and location.
