The Conversation
video
video loop, one minute, no audio, 2014; exhibited at MKG127 in Toronto, 2015
A man and a woman seem to be sitting at a table having a conversation. With a closer look it becomes apparent that these are two different videos cut together. These videos were not scripted and it is only through the desire of the audience to make a connection between them that this happens. This works speaks to the power for our desire to create narrative, even when there may be none.
