Video Work From 2005 to 2006:

What Defines Greatness
[2005]
Video, 7:15, Colour

Working from a statement by Friedrich Nietzsche that to be great you must be willing to inflict great pain and suffering, and rifting on the idea of the Übermensch; this video presents a heavily altered looping 1930’s cartoon of Superman being pummeled by a laser beam. Sound by Krisjanis Kaktins-Gorsline.








Sort of like a distilled and hushed version of all the landscape painting Gerhard Richter has done to date….
[2006]
Video, 3:16, Colour

As the title dictates this work is an ironic and meaningful approximation of Gerhard Richter’s landscape works. This work plays off found footage of a small stereotyped German town surrounded by forests. As music swells and the camera moves over the land the image gets progressively blurrier.
