INFINITY OF SELF VIDEOS

Familiar with the once trendy profile shot in the mirror with your digital camera? Have you ever tried it with a video camera and flipped the view finder screen around to face the mirror?

I've been interested in this theme of infinity of self in video and just found this pretty recent file on my laptop unfiled and posted it on blip. I'm using the laptop's isight camera and shooting video at the same time. it's so weird and the laughing. you can see i flick my hair and then my head in the distance on the tv is moving. talk about framing inside the frame into your puter screen here. hi i'm on video on video on video. i like to think about this in relation to the narcissistic theme explored by many early video artists as discussed by Rosalind Krauss.



this is one from two years ago, frazzled at a grad school residency, moving from unsettling thoughts of the gaze to the amazing infinity!
