At Any Given Moment, Grass, 2009 Video art installation 1 of an edition of 7.

At Any Given Moment, Grass, a permanent video art installation by Rebeca Méndez was acquired by Environment Furniture and is on view 16 hours a day, 7 days a week at their new Los Angeles showroom, on Beverly Boulevard.

The artwork series At Any Given Moment explores issues of perception, specifically our relationship to technologically mediated nature. The repetitive rhythm, tight crop and large-scale image of the barley grass field emphasizes its particular organizational logic in time and space. Allowing us to view ourselves from the outside, as part of the representation, we learn about ourselves and challenge preconceptions of our surroundings, specifically of the nature of matter. The cross-rhythmic tensions between simple elements in the field—each blade of grass oscillates at variable speed, variable light and variables of atmospheric conditions—create visual difference and reveal the patterns that one simple form, a blade of grass, produces through relationships and complex organization.

The At Any Given Moment Series was filmed in Iceland between 2006 and 2008. Filmed on a 16mm Bolex and transferred to High Definition Video.
