Janine Antoni

"If I could walk along the rope and as it dipped that—just for a moment—I would touch the horizon, which would really talk about the incredible struggle to get to that place of the imagination.
I call the piece "Touch" because it is about that moment or that desire to walk on the horizon, which is obviously an impossibility and only an illusion that can be accomplished through the video camera. And you can see I’m hardly balancing there in that place of my desire. Thinking
about what the horizon means to us, it’s sort of a place of contemplation... But for me, I’m interested in it as a place that doesn’t really exist. That if we were to try to go to that place, the horizon would just recede further."
