THE VIDEO

PRIVAT(e)

Video PRIVAT(e)is a non-linear naration interested in topics between private and public,home and media. It explores the intime spaces of private world through subjective eye. No narrative story is obvious, except some images that makes us believe that private life is going on mainly in front of the television, computer monitors and kitchen. The text that accompanied the video is mimicking a private diary. Video PRIVAT(e) is a part of larger multimedia installation that was presented for the first time at the Gallery P74 in April 2003.
