Work ID: 53092
Description: 2000 [installation documentation: 5 min. 30 sec. with stereo audio / excerpt: 1 min. 9 sec.]
This work can also be shown as an installation on a TV monitor behind a wall, viewed through a circular hole, 5 cm / 2" in diameter.
The forlorn cry of a baby draws one to a hole in a wall through which we see the video of an infant's head. Our inaccessible proximity to the child emphacizes her isolation and her Buddha-like appearance ecokes an innocence and other worldly wisdom. During one continuous take, she slowly focuses on, contemplates, and becomes disturbed by the sound of another baby crying in the distance. In turn her cry intensifies until it drowns out the other baby. It then recedes into the background and the shot loops to begin the cycle again. As we stand helpless watching the baby and listening to her cries we realize life's potential for misery and compassion, but are forced by circumstance to simply tolerate her distress. Lyla Rye [from the Mercer Union invitation brochure, March 2 - April 8, 2000].

Description: 2002 [installation documentation: 8 minutes with intermittent audio / excerpt: 1 min. 20 sec.]
This work can also be shown as an installation, displayed on a grouping of TV monitors stacked as if in an electronics store window.
Byte shows Lyla Rye singing into her baby daughter's mouth. At the end of the 12 second clip, the baby bites Rye's lip. Over 40 manipulations of the same base clip form the 8 minute video. Some have superimposed black squares or a section of the image may blur over time to direct attention to different aspects of the interaction.
In the summer of 2002 Lyla defended this work against allegations of obscenity after police confiscated the video on display in the storefront window of eyelevelgallery in Halifax. Rye said she intended her artwork to be thought provoking but never pornographic. "I think the piece is simultaneously beautiful and disturbing but I can't see in any way how it's obscene," she said. "It's become quite absurd what's considered allowable...it's so narrow...and I feel that's why I'm exploring these issues." No charges were ever laid. Lyla Rye

Closer viewing reveals it to be an inset image of a woman talking animatedly, but without accompanying audio. On either side is a small video of a child; one covers her ears while the other covers his eyes. Audible from this close distance, a second sound track is heard with a woman's attempts to cajole the children into helping. Shown at Grimsby Public Art Gallery, Grimsby, Ontario.

This work can also be shown as a framed box
(45 x 45 x 20 cm / 18" x 18" x 8") with LCD.
In Examination a nude young girl is shown exploring a strange black object. The image is distorted as if a magnifying lens is superimposed over the video. The central area of the video which is most magnified, is also most distorted and blurred. The black shape slowly reveals itself as a bra, implicating me, the mother, in the image as well as foreshadowing the future expansion and change of her own body. The black form is a negative shape, or virtual hole, which disrupts the image. The scale and colour difference between the child and the bra highlights her smallness and provides a harsh contrast to the paleness of her flesh. Lyla Rye
The piece is also shown on a small LCD mounted within a picture frame like box. A real magnifying lens is mounted into a glass sheet in front of the monitor exaggerating the digital distrortion effects within the video.
