When the Frame Begins to Tremble (2026) is a video installation developed in collaboration with Eric Coombs Esmail that uses Gaussian splatting to transform a restless image across dimensions. The work begins with C-SPAN footage from June 1, 2020, documenting Donald Trump’s walk from the White House to St. John’s Episcopal Church after demonstrators were forcibly cleared from the area.

Rather than treating this footage as mere documentation, the installation attends to its instability: the handheld camera struggling to follow events, the operator's movement, and the shifting relationship between body, apparatus, and image. Through Gaussian splatting, the footage is reconstructed as an unstable spatial field, where image, body, and ground continually lose and remake their relation to one another. The work considers computer vision not simply as a way of seeing, but as another apparatus through which images, bodies, and claims to truth are produced and fractured.
