The Spy /2008/

movie (5:51 min), installation 220 x 300 x 70 cm

video: http://www.myspace.com/ferrac

In the work "The Spy" is used video and work with the time and time loops. The video is screened within an installation into where the visitor can look inside and watch the movie through a narrow slot, with only one eye.

The topic of the movie is waiting, the scenes are shot alternatively from the point of view of the spy and of the red deer. The movie is running in loops, the scene always returns to the beginning and for the next time runs a bit further before it returns again and so on.

The viewer is thus forced to stay and see the scene several times. By watching it only with one eye, he imitates the situation of the spy (or hunter?) or the doe?

The visitor who is standing in front of the door and watching the piece is at the same time a viewer and a part of the whole process of waiting (spying).
