conversation
5.2 MB
Shots of conversations between men and women on a television soap opera have been altered and edited to juxtapose the women as if they were in conversation with each other. The men have been removed from the visual data, leaving behind the emotional data of the original conversations in the expressions on the faces of the different women. The evocative music was composed by Matt DiFonzo.

The video exemplifies the artist's attraction and repulsion to that most popular of cultural phenomena, television.

A bushy tailed animal of unknown origin, frenetically chases its own tail, much like the Buddhist idea of the "mad elephant" mind that can only be tamed through meditation. The piece is, itself, a meditation on movement and the surreal, and gives the viewer the opportunity to experience an altered vision of the world.
