videocamera is a catatonic digital memory, indifferent to what it is watching and what it is listening to. it is never going to protest, however boring the subject it is pointed at may be. it will write down anything that comes within its view and records any sound within its earshot. vidocamera is a sampling tool. lethargically, as it is expected to, it will take samples of the visual and aural reality, which appears from its viewpoint as an indifferent array of possible configurations of image pixels. the apparatus is completely unaware how unique the recorded cofiguration is and that it is impossible to reconstruct it the same way again. the memory of the apparatus is completely different to that of its operator. the contradictions between the two leads to a complex relationship. at times it may be a harmony, other times a conflict, there are moments of deep affection and periods of mutual ignorance.

videoinstallation fractal zoom (liberty st.) consists of several footages anchored in time and space. place is a house on street of liberty (if the operator’s memory is correct) number 2 and time is last ten day of may 2006. lethargic observations capture some of the inhabitants in their activities, movements in or around the house, explore the surrounding space or just scan for compositions. they investigate larger picture, cut out and zoom in on details of time and space. process of viewing is also a process of listening and remembering. impressionist slice and concrete life.

2 liberty st., san francisco, california
