Deconstructing the Officers Club A video installation uncovering the walls of the historic Presidio

Project Description

In collaboration with the Presidio Archaeology Lab and Presidio Trust the video "Deconstructing the Officers Club", shows archaeological research uncovering the interior structure of San Francisco's second oldest structure dating back to the 1790s.

The video was projected in the Officers Club building where excavations were taking place to learn more about the buildings structure. The nature of the projection is documentation recording the stages of the walls uncovering, demonstrating the collaborative process of archaeology from an artistic viewpoint.
