Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
‘Drop The Ramp’ explores creating a landscape of the invasion on Omaha beach on D-day through immersive and intimate screenings.
Sitting in the middle of the larger projection will be a smaller screen showing a war veteran, Frank Devita as he recounts a story never told about storming the beaches of Omaha. Inverting the interview footage to make it a color negative….viewers will need to view through their phones inverting their screens to view Frank as a color positive. This plays on newer generations' relation to war and how we’ve only ever experienced it through screens. It also plays on our relationships with older generations and how their stories might go unappreciated in a modern age
