Fit , an interactive video installation, plays on the confusion of duration and speed, and raises questions of time and control. The motionless projection of an aerobics instructor goes into action when a viewer enters the space, tempting him or her to exercise in response. Responding to presence rather than movement, the video image speeds up according to the time the viewer spends with it. And as the image of the instructor moves faster and faster, the participating viewer also tends to try to keep pace, unaware that he or she controls the video image's speed while being controlled by it. Rising out of the oil and sinking under the murky surface, a cone and a small blue light emerge and vanish.
Nothing comes between the object and the image except a lens.
The Reason for Insomnia is an overhead projection onto a vacant bed, with a pillow that inhales and exhales to the sound of breathing. At the touch of a bedpost, the viewer can trigger a nightmare sequence of apparitional occurrences on the bed, as the sheet is transformed into a miraculous shroud. A slash rips it open, a moving lump creeps across it, flames consume it, a spreading bloodstain slowly dyes it red, yet it continually restores itself. Involving fluidity and slippage as well as allusions to Elvis Presley's twitches and a maze on the floor of Chartres Cathedral, the two pieces of plastic quiver, struggle, and couple, twisting and turning in the air. The art does not claim possession of immutable objects or fixed images.
