Her video sculptures juxtapose video narrative an d sculptural objects to probe indigenous rituals and ceremonies embedded in the digital realm.\nElmhurst College will host Truckenbrod&rsquo\;s video sculpture exhibit Errant Particles at the Barbara A. Kieft Acceler ator ArtSpace through March 15.\nTruckenbrod&rsquo\;s work engages invis ible and visible phenomena from the natural world with contemporary soci al patterns. Her video imagery is projected onto handmade objects that a ctivate their unique stories and highlight traces of invisible ritual be haviors.\n&ldquo\;In these video installations\, I create personal space s that embody shifts from one realm or dimension to another\,&rdquo\; Tr uckenbrod says in her artist&rsquo\;s statement. &ldquo\;They are charge d spaces symbolizing transformative experiences such as rites of passage with radical shifts in societal context. I am inspired by indigenous cu ltures whose lives are intimately intertwined with the natural world.&rd quo\;\nShe has exhibited her artwork in Chicago\, New York\, London\, Pa ris and Berlin and is currently working on a book\, The Paradoxical Obje ct: Video Film Sculpture\, which is scheduled to be published later this year by Black Dog Publishers in London.\n&ldquo\;Joan Truckenbrod&rsquo \;s work is cutting-edge. Her unique form of expression represents the b est in contemporary practice\,&rdquo\; says Suellen Rocca\, curator and director of exhibits. &ldquo\;This exhibit offers a rare opportunity to see this highly inventive work.&rdquo\; \; \; \; \;  \; \; \; \; \; \; \;\nErrant Particles will run through March 15 in the Barbara A. Kieft Accelerator ArtSpace\, in the 2 00 block of Walter Street behind the Mill Theatre. Viewing hours are noo n to 4 p.m. on Tuesday\, Thursday and Saturday.  \; \; \;&nb sp\;\nElmhurst College hosts about 12 art shows each year in three campu s venues. In addition\, the College&rsquo\;s A.C.
