Live
video performance by artist Kevin Atherton In Two Minds,
in which Atherton attempts a mediated conversation with
a younger version of himself, first performance twenty
seven years ago at the serpentine gallery London, made
possible through video technology.
Atherton's sitting on a table with a bottle of water he
continued a debate with a back projector of himself as
the figure from his twenty’s also sitting on a table,
Atherton reacted to the pre filmed dissuasion with himself,
it was like experiencing an argument with the folly of
youth as the huge black and white Atherton's tried to
antagonise and win an argument,??
have a drink??.
I’ve not drank for twenty three years??
Atherton said as though analysing a period of his life,
yet this piece had a underlining pace of humour where
the pre-recorded Atherton’s lit up a cigarette and
was told you can’t smoke in here, this was engaging
but shown that time waits for nobody and questions ones
mortality. |
