video 2.55mn [sequence shot], 2007
This video sequence documents a live outdoor scene viewed through an open double doorway. While a young woman showers, innocently revealing her body in the right half of the view, an elderly man is seen sitting in the left half, smoking a cigarette, oblivious to the presence of the young woman and the beauty of her youthful form. In this vanity tableau, the man represents time, the process of aging that happens in time, and the inevitable presence of aging that haunts youth.
