- Silent, black and white 100-foot rolls of film
- All the same length, as long as film roll 2 3/4 mins
- Resulting films projected in so - mo = 4 mins
- Subject and camera motionless for the duration of film, with the result of "living portrait"
- 2 limits a physical material limit,as well as a physical limit - performance
- Closed body
- Cinema is structured through the gaze. 3 gazes - between the characters in the narrative, the camera and the audience.
Pipilotti Rist, Eyeball massage
- Compared to Andy Warhol it's very much more about opening the body and portrait to the viewers in an immersion experience. Viewers can connect with the images and associate it with something of there own.
David Critchley, Pieces I Never Did
Jane Parker, K
- This piece had a big impact due to the imagery of the intestine coming out of her month and then being knitted.
Steve Mcqueen, Bear
- Focuses on the audience gaze in boxing and whether the body is looked at as well as the boxing itself. It also suggests the emotional and attitude side, instead of the fighting itself.
How the different technology's they have used to show the body. How they have framed it.
