Crossing Over (Ceiling Projection)

By  Rod Dee 2008

Crossing Over looks to explore ones ability to exceed boundaries and move between different spaces. I'm particularly drawn to what Dutch Anthropologist, Arnold van Gennap refers to as a liminal state; a transitional phase whereby an individual is neither in nor out of society though transcends his/ her physical environment by way of certain rituals or ceremonial traditions. Hence if there something beyond our experience of the material world; some "higher realm", then how can we enter into it or achieve communion with it?
