Non Object, DVD loop, 2013, 1:25 min.
Non Object is a collection of videos of people walking around cities followed by me shot covertly from a digital camera. It quickly becomes clear that each individual is wearing a horizontally striped top. By keeping each person at the same approximate distance in the centre of the screen I reduces each person from an object to a motif for abstraction. A dynamic tension is activated between the innocent and disinterested task of fixation upon and collection of a given pattern, and the more sinister emulation by the artist of the serial obsessive and the potential for conflict between the stalker and his quarry.
