"Loop"

The Loop action took place in New York in 2010. It consisted of a person, dressed in black, together with a black 1966 car.
Within the continuum of everyday life and the natural, physical motion of people and cars,
the two performative elements (the person and the car) were unnaturally
looped, meeting each other in the centre of the composition
every three minutes. Tracing the form of a square, following the path
of the streets, the black car repeatedly drove around the block
to the right, whilst the person repeatedly walked around the block to
the left. Rythmical repeatedness in time was opposed to the
fluxed instabillity.
A feeling of déjà vu was created for the unconcious participant, as the repeated motion took place around fifteen
times.
