Threshold by Sayler/ Morris
Threshold is a video work by the artist duo Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris (Sayler / Morris) that is designed for site-responsive video installations (14:22 loop). It was originally commissioned by the American Writers Museum in Chicago for an installation titled Palm: All Awake in the Darkness by Sayler / Morris with Ian Boyden. In 2020 during the COVID pandemic, Sayler/Morris made a special longer and more purely meditative edit of this piece for The Merwin Conservancy, titled Threshold (Meditation Edit for Merwin Conservancy; 21:57 loop). See that version here.
