Video Loop (DV): single channel, color, silent, 4:20 min, 2003

 

The rhythmically cut video consists of observations of a young man who is roaming past other people and whose face expresses boredom or else his explicit observation of passersby. Since the footage is recorded in a way that excludes the actual context of the situation, both the specific location and behavior of the young man being observed remain ambiguous, leaving it up to the viewer to draw his own conclusions regarding narration and the authenticity of the situation.
The looped video is presented on a monitor placed on a black pedestal about 4.5 feet in height.
