It is that minute attention to detail, which is in all your work, which helps us to see the subject with new eyes. I was particularly struck by the blurring of the left third of the frame in the first piece -no reason to it except for poetry apparently, but there's no doubt that it mysteriously helps the whole thing to cohere.. Great! Well, Sam’s pretty much said it all! It is that minute attention to detail, which is in all your work, which helps us to see the subject with new eyes.

"Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration." in some way, you are able to give our two fellow humans from the video a home: now firmly embedded in our conscience. one could pass by these urban situations, everyday, without noticing. after seeing these two videos, not anymore. you re-framed a conscious way to see. thank you robert. (i would say that this was voodling. it could probably never have been premeditated, and planed in all parts. it sort of comes together, "naturally") it is truly amazing to watch the latest two video pieces:

cut-up is not cut-up anymore, there seems to be something new under way, with the [old] mechanic(s) of split-screen.

i suppose it could be about visual timing…. focusing, blurring, separating. re-uniting. slicing up and mounting anew. and it certainly is about a conscious, considerate, candidness in regard(s) to the seen, and to the protagonists involuntarily displayed on stage.

the two short works are in no way “peek-a-boo’s”.

“Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.”

in some way, you are able to give our two fellow humans from the video a home: now firmly embedded in our conscience. one could pass by these urban situations, everyday, without noticing. after seeing these two videos, not anymore.

you re-framed a conscious way to see.

thank you robert.

Indeed: "why not sneeze, Rrose Selavy"... maybe it was Rrose sitting there, in front of the third space, opposite A-Z hardware... (corner Sherwood st/ Brewer st or coner Denman/ Sherwood i presume ?) an absolute marvel!
