Kiva
Translating to the "world below," Kiva refers to the round chamber used by the Pueblo for ceremonial and social gatherings. The ceremonial chamber was built underground as a representation of the connection between the world in which people lived their day-to-day lives and the ancestral world. Campus described the purpose of this work as a place that puts viewers in a "position of agency...You walk into the room and at first (“Kiva”) is unapparent. Then, there shortly comes the shock of your own image as you activate the camera...I want visitors to explore the room, even the areas out of the camera’s view, because the entire set-up—the space, the camera, even the camera mounts—are intrinsic to them.” [University of Michigan Museum of Art]

Vanya on 42nd StreetFilm, 1994Rated 6.7 on TMDB
An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' plays out by a company of actors. The setting: their run-down theater with an unusable stage and crumbling ceiling. The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.
