Work On Display: The Park

The Park, a video installation, re-examines the ways in which Mount Vernon Place may be perceived. It asserts that maps can be understood as documents created in order to present information about a space, resulting in an expanded awareness of the location. Like a map, installation expands the viewer’s understanding of this historical landmark by elaborating on conventional mapping. Because human perception cannot be transferred, all people will not perceive a site the same way. Peck promotes shifts in perception with a silent black and white video that is rooted in the life and natural rhythms of Mount Vernon Place, allowing the viewer to reflect on the space, how they move through it and how others may perceive that shared experience.
