In and Out of New Places
1997, installation view. Video.
Visitations to different “new” places. These were places
I had not been to before, a first time experience. I went into places like a painting shop,
a library, and hospital, wandered about and afterwards I headed back
to my studio and told stories of my visits to the video camera, recalling from memory
what I had seen and experienced.
The work is about new experiences, but using the ancient method of storytelling, instead
of modern methods of video recordings from the “new” places.
