The video piece considers the indestructability of excess and the intrinsic role waste plays in our contemporary mode of life. The collage video piece consists of footage from fieldwork conducted with colleagues which is juxtaposed and merged with online digital excess that was appropriated for artistic use. A central element in the videos is the poetic voiceover, which asks fundamental, even troubling questions about our relationship with waste. The voiceover is accompanied by digitally manipulated trash sounds. The original form of the work is an installation with nine used tv sets, but here it is exhibited as a projected triptych version.
The installation will be on display in the Permantosali Hall at the House of Text from August 20 to 22, between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM
