Channel Video
This video presents an image of a man and a woman blowing bubbles with
bubble gum in a sterile white tiled environment. As one bubble deflates,
another bubble emerges. All individual identity is lost as one image dissolves
into the other in a never-ending loop. The image has been slowed down
to about one-third of its original speed giving it a mesmerizing ‘screen
saver’ effect. The piece speaks about interior and exterior views
physically and emotionally through the metaphor of the bubble. As the
bubbles enlarge, the exterior environment is reflected on the outside
of the bubbles, distorting the view of the environment. These views are
then sucked inside the man and woman as they create and destroy what the
viewer sees through the bubbles. The audio is silent.
