The Kiss

Video Installation: 1 videotape, 2 Video monitors, VCR, red string


Two television monitors, facing each other, were harnessed together with a red string. The screens, barely visible to the viewer, were playing an identical videotape of a mouth in an extended kiss pressed to the plate of glass. This video sculpture was formally inspired by a Brancusi sculpture entitled “The Kiss”, and recreated in a contemporary medium.
