This sculptural installation is the result of Swedish artist Josefina Posch’s three month residency at Art Space Portsmouth and encompasses life-size figurative sculptures and a web based live video streaming projection. The figures are made up of body-castings taken of a multitude of persons in direct proportion to the percentage of ethnicity and age groups living in the city of Portsmouth. In addition to the installation of the sculptures there will be a live video streamed projection utilizing a custom made peer to peer broadcasting web technology within Flash 10. The projection is made up of three interchanging web cameras that are editing live footage of the sculptures to the dialog soundtrack Posch has created based upon the American Motion Pictures associations top twenty Romantic films of all times.The exhibition will be on view at GASP (Gallery Art Space Portsmouth) from Nov 19th- 25th with live streaming of the video to Hanare projects Gallery in Kyoto, Japan on the preview day. The sculptures of the “average Portsmouth” inhabitant will then be shipped to Lund, Sweden and exhibited at Gallery Pictura from Dec 9th – Jan 15th . From the exhibition in Sweden the live footage will be streamed back to Portsmouth and shown at Aspex Gallery on Dec 9th to coincide with the organizations Christmas party, thus bringing back the inhabitants of the city.
