Hiding picture 2001

Gallerí Skuggi, Reykjavík Iceland

A life-size, site-specific video shows a figure hiding behind a column, peeking out from time to time. Now and then she jumps to the light switch on the wall, turning the room dark. Moments later she switches the lights back on and quickly jump’s behind the column again. For a moment, viewers may be unsure whether the figure is present in the space itself.
