«Traffic» video extract of total 6’10, 2K, NYC
The video performance Traffic — which I held in New-York in 2K — is relating to organization and texture of public space by referring the paradox of abandoned streets and places inbetween Brooklyn and Queens. The video looks for a metaphor of strolling throughout cities and bothers a decision-making-process of getting ahead.
Not only are we led and guided by the city’s structure as signs and architectonic elements — while yes they shape and fragment a city so as conduct its deconstructed frames.
In 2K I started a work in progress under the title Paradoxical Periphery . Often I apply a research on a long foot walk (drifting) over a peripheric site or at suburbs.
