An example of non-dangerous performance art! XD

Great work Nick. I love the camera's following nature. Your work kept me thinking "how did he do that?!". You really capture a cold feeling, and rather mechanical, to the piece. Probably experimenting with monitors would of served good as well which, as you know, Nauman used in the Public/ Private space installation. R.T

This is good. It is also good that she is not put herself in any danger. Cooking is good, not was did I see then put the camera on her face which to me was an effort to keep her out of the equation as much as possible. Second, they had close ups on the food the entire time, which defenitely shows the viewer what is important and you get a sense like you are right there.

Every time I watch this piece, I am always astonished by the suspense, rhythm, and philosophical taste. For many, making food is no unique task as much as too have it star in a video for 9:12 mins. The creator expresses an creative importance to the food being made. The video shows the process of transformation from one stage to the next.
ReplyDeleteRamiro Commented on the post above with no name. sorry.
ReplyDeleteWas this by chance from our FYS? It seems familiar.
ReplyDeleteEven though I can't imagine spending this much time making one dish of samosas, the clip is not just a how-to video but stylized into video art which I think is a really cool concept.
Yes, this is from our class, Nick! Nice memory. It has stuck with me since then. Partially because I love samosas and the vid reminds me of my Indian family back home, but also because I just find it so visually and conceptually beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like it, Ramiro - it is one of my favorite vid art pieces!
And awesome observations, Charles - I definitely agree with you.
