Doug Aitken has a film
installation called Black Mirror, at the Victoria Miro Gallery in London. The
film stars Chloë Sevigny, travelling across the desert, on a beach and what
looks like Mexico, in constant motion and engaged in short snippets of
communication, representative of the fast pace of contemporary life. In
this video, Aitken tries to create a landscape where despite the hectic pace of life the viewer tries to find a connection through the familiar images
of the airport terminal, the hotel lobby and the car rental kiosk.
The multi-channel film projection itself is viewed inside a small structure with its walls covered with tinted mirrors. They create multiple reflections which magnify the impact.
I recorded scenes from the video in 2 parts as below.
