Still Life 1996

An ordinary urban landscape: a junkie on a street corner, indifferent to what is going on around him; the passers-by who almost bump into him do not notice him and continue their run. A double indifference. A video still life, a television image fixed on a crude naturalness. What we see is the taking shape of television reality manifesting itself as fiction, in a delirium of presumed and accomplished visibility.
