jesse's mobile studio

the mobile phone video clip opens up all the neurotic questions i have about video art and its relationship to documentary ( as in tv documentaries etc...), and completely overturns and refutes my prejudices! this clip is like squinting at the world through a key hole and seems very much about the artist as a secretive and private observer of the world around -
it's fascinating and compelling and somehow relates to the images of making gnocchi with nettles.
i'm envious of how video deals with being there, wherever 'there' is, and the moment, and how it challenges laboriousness
thanks jesse

Mobile Phone Video



The Times 25th June 2008, Cafe Nero and Popol Vuh, Mitten im Garten (music).
Video made with mobile phone, newspaper and downloads.
Cut up and collageing could decode the implicit meaning of text and images. Idling with a portable studio. The blog as democratic super audience and not being able to place or locate the virtual activity of making whilst on the move.
