VISIONS OF A DISAPPEARANCE

Vito Acconci
Seated in a corner, Acconci is enclosed by a video camera and a monitor. They show him the same scene that he plays at that moment. Acconci tries to disappear; he wants his own image to be erased in the eyes of those who are watching. Initially he calls out for a possible viewer. There must be someone who watches – without a witness he cannot prove that he can make himself disappear...

DO IT YOURSELF

Emilio López-Menchero
Do It Yourself mocks the DIY video made for handymen about the most common home makeshift jobs.

THRU

Peter Downsbrough
THRU is a dialectic investigation of two urban locations, one inside, the other outside. The video was conceived as a double projection, partly taking the designated space – the exhibition space at Argos – as its subject. The image alternates in a symmetrical rhythm between long, inert and twilit panoramas of the exhibition space and short, static shots of a nearby, busy street...
