“收藏家之犬” ” 2005 DVD單頻道錄影 7分49秒
Collector's Dog, 2005, video installtion, 7m49s
這個計畫是跟一個有養狗的收藏家合作。針孔攝影機將安裝在這隻狗的頭上。這隻狗會跟著我們,當收藏家在跟我介紹他的收藏品時,這隻狗的攝影機會錄下整個過程。
In the video installation, the viewer is presented with art collectors who have canine companions. A surveillance camera mounted on the art collector’s dog documents not only the animal’s meandering, but also catches bits of its owner’s description of artworks in the home. This provides for a disorienting storyline, as the dog’s attention clearly is not driven by the collector’s narrative. The artistic centerpieces, giving the collector prestige and esteem from a human vantage point, immediately loose prominence when the site line is displaced a few feet closer to the floor. When seen from all fours, the experience of art becomes a much less elevating pursuit. (by Susan Lookofsky)
