Untitled: Live Video Interaction 1996

‘Untitled: Live Video Interaction. Exercise 1'

A performance collaboration with a mobile tv crew. The work began with me attempting to do nothing for 5 minutes in front of an audience at 2e Recontre International d’art Performance, curator R. Martel, Quebec in 1996. My attempt at doing nothing was filmed by 3 camera men and a live edit was compiled. The second phase of the work involved me attempting to re-enact the edited video of the work's first 5 minutes to a fixed camera. Duration 25 minutes. (A video of the work exists courtesy of Le Lieu, Quebec).
