"if you happened to be outside my window and on a ladder"

".... outside my window" was a reworked video piece installed behind my living room curtains, at an angle equalling that of the view of my television through my living room window.
I wanted an audience to witness my living space as real life spectators and as if they were literally prying eyes upon my life.
The video however is a nonsensical happening which occurred within my home- filmed with performer and filmmaker Mark Oughton a.k.a Burntworld.
A nonsensical everyday encounter was a deliberate reassurance that nothing is really ever honest in its presentation. There is always an element of staged reality.
The video was shot in real time with influences from Bertolt Brecht and also Mike Kelley and Cindy Sherman.
Duration: 18 Minutes.
