Deep State is a two channel video installation, projected in the corner windows of the 4th floor of The Clemente, on the Lower East Side. Visible from the street, the video presents abstract footage of crashing, swirling water, appearing to fill the entire corner studio in a violent, fluid, watery cube. In a turbulent year where many have found themselves overwhelmed; drowning under the uncertainty of a pandemic, financial instability, political unrest, and conspiracy theories, Deep State presents an illusion of being underwater. The entire room behind the windows appears immersed by the crashing, swirling waves, a moment of beautiful chaos in an otherwise eerily quiet New York City streetscape.

Best viewed from the corner of Suffolk and Rivington streets, the installation will be on view nightly from 6pm - midnight, January 28 through Sunday, January 31.
