untitled (2006)

single-channel video

Concerning itself with sculpture, this work explores the limits and edges of that medium. 
The material qualities of mundane and everyday objects are exploited towards sculptural results. These results are often temporary and only exist through their documentation. Video and photography then become sculpture or remain as the sculptural artefact.
The video piece untitled (2006) demonstrates the exploration of video as sculpture. The work documents what can be seen as a series of attempts in setting up a particular sculptural situation, the artist’s body and a chair in equilibrium.  Over the course of an hour both failures and successes are shown candidly.
This work was selected to be shown at Switch 2009. Under the theme of Playfulness and alongside moving image based work by 7 other international artists and film-makers, the video was projected onto the window of an unused commercial premises.  In 2018, I was invited back to show the work again for the 10th anniversary edition of this project.
