Work

Lucier was invested in performance and photography during her time in the Sonic Arts Union, creating works such as the ''Polaroid Image Series'', which accompanied Alvin Lucier’s work ''
I am sitting in a room ''I am sitting in a room'' is a sound art piece composed in 1969 and one of composer Alvin Lucier's best known works. The piece features Lucier recording himself narrating a text, and then playing the tape recording back into the room, re-record ...
'' (1969). During this performance she projected slides transferred from Polaroids which were degraded in a process similar to Alvin Lucier’s recorded voice. Her movement into video in the early 1970s connected to her interest in the manipulation of the image as well as her fascination with the illuminated television box and its architectural space. In the 1970s, Lucier started to burn the internal recording tube of her camera by focusing on the sun which can be seen in her multi-channel video works ''Dawn Burn'' (1975), ''Paris Dawn Burn'' (1977) and ''Equinox'' (1979). She also performed a piece ''Fire Writing'' in 1975 at The Kitchen where she used laser beams to burn text onto the Vidicon tube of her hand-held camera, which can be seen in the resulting video image. In the 1980s, Lucier moved into greater aesthetic and sculptural concerns with her work, reflecting a clear shift in video art sensibilities of the time period. Her 2-channel, 7 monitor installation ''Ohio at Giverny'' (1983) both removes the television box from view in its installation as well as provides a translation to video of

’s technique of rendering light palpable. ''Wilderness'' (1986) furthered Lucier’s experimentation with installation and landscape by placing three channels of video on seven monitors mounted on faux classical pedestals in a stepped colonnade and focusing on American landscape motifs. In the 1990s, Lucier would investigate the more devastating aspects of the earth’s landscapes by comparing the ecological precarity of the Brazilian
