Security
Collaboration with June Pak - 2002
colour, silent video
ABM machine, video projection
continuous loop
site-specific video installation
Exhibited at Artseen, a site-specific annual
exhibition held by Artcite Inc. in an old CIBC bank building.
Pak and I put this piece together as a response to the financial
institution’s “false advertising” of the notion of financial security
as a direct link to the security with one’s life and well-being. I
appropriated the ABM machine as an obsolete machine, altering the interface
panel, and Pak co-responded to it with a video piece – intangible nature
of the notion “security”.
