Description:
The video recalls the picture quality of early black-and-white films. The misleading film effect achieved through post-production is thrown into question by the artist himself when in the last seconds of the tape he employs pictorial noise generated electronically, which could only be attained through the intermediary use of television. The paradoxical contradictions of the visual world are in harmony with the brief narrative: the ensemble of a man with his pants pulled down squatting between train tracks and the speedily approaching engine. (Evelin Páll)
