video intervention 058 Production year: 2000.
Installation:n° 1 videoprojector, DVD , autorepeat, different dimensions.
with: Paolo Ravalico Scerri and a man.
My images, almost stills, are a concentrated notion of the idea of movement, gesture, thought; they do not relate to the common notion about television. The mass medium becomes a container of ideas that are expressed singularly. So the video becomes a drawing in movement and the video still becomes a drawing too.


Performance "When Paolo's work was shown, he did an impromptu performance where he walked into the audience while his tape was being shown, and went to each audience member and took their hands and had them stand up with their hands in a prayer format. His timing was perfect because by the time his tape was over he had all the audience standing. Elspeth Sage - Vancouver "
