Wearing Out a Wedding Present

 

27 single channel videos

2008

 

An unrealized video installation using 27 individual videos playing simultaneously on separate small screens, either mounted salon-style on a single wall or placed directly on the floor.

 

In each video a small tent, a wedding present from a now defunct marriage, is erected over and over, in locations less than ideal for camping. The tent is never utilized as shelter, only set up and abandoned.

 

presented here are 10 of the 27 videos
