North is the Empire State Building. Northeast is Gloria Vanderbilt. East is Antonio Lopez. West is the once-a-year phenomenon of Manhattanhenge. South is September 11. This month, 47-year-old artist T.J. Wilcox presents his epic multidirectional New York film project “In the Air” at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Using a 360-degree screen that requires 10 projectors, Wilcox takes the striking city panorama from the roof of his penthouse studio in Union Square as the subject of his latest work.
In September 2012, he mounted a 4GoPano camera above his 17th Street studio and captured sunrise to sunset in the round. This footage will play on all 10 projectors, sped up to a half hour—the diurnal lifespan of Manhattan that Wilcox witnesses every day. Within that duration, six different personal films will successively play somewhere along the cityscape, each based on a distinct memory or idea triggered when looking in a particular direction from his studio windows. Some are historical, such as Wilcox’s meticulous model set of the top of the Empire State Building as a landing site for 1930s zeppelins; others are hagiographic, like the silver Mylar balloons that Andy Warhol hung from his Factory windows to welcome the pope in 1965. In every case, Wilcox’s films convey the emotional and psychological landscapes that settle over the spires and avenues of a city after having lived there so long—an invisible compass of past lives. Wilcox, who grew up in Seattle and moved to New York in 1983, is one of the rare artists working today who manages to merge fact with fiction, the highly personal with the historic. A haunting, low-lit poetry exudes from his film works in particular, whether his screens capture swans on tranquil water or the funeral of Marlene Dietrich.
