"Tautegorical" (2005) - Video Projection 3“40’ loop size variable

“Tautegorical” single projection loop. This videowork takes the form of a circle, almost like a portal to another space, as the camera traverses an abandoned garden. The circular gaze implies surveillance.

Any narrative structure comes from the subject matter itself. The circle contains and centers on the activity of the birds, and it also alludes to an optically framed ‘other’ space. The image could be described as ‘poetic’, an important element is the rhythm that the birds make while following their own pathways and trajectories.
The work explores through the birds issues of surveillance, relations and defence.
