body.move
video installation
DVD A: 6 min 46 sec. DVD B: 6 min 7 sec.
DVD A and DVD B are set up for loop playing. The DVDs have different
lenghts, and the action of the two films are not ment to match but
to shift throughout the screening.
“body.move” is based on the video taped performances of
the 1960 – and 70s, not done in front of an audience, but for
the camera in a studio, where so many early video works were conceived. |

Blue Cryptic
2010, 0'44''
Window and Wind
2010, 1'04''
The idea is after the image, if it did the opposite, it would be a
builder of allegories.
Any description which makes about the videos, it would be misleading,
because with the image, each video is representing itself. |

BRAIN BOX

Brainbox is a video incorporating live action and animation, creating
a string of scenes in which the spectator encounters various characters
and events in haunting spaces. The juxtaposition of ambiguous scenes
intends to trigger a creative thought process, encouraging the spectator
to interpret and elaborate on the narrative. |
