Fragment, 2'59''
The video is recast of the original work Back and Forth (1997), two-channel video installation. This version is composed of four directions of movement, shot from a moving train. However, the image is only of the rails (tracks), “running” in four different directions – back, forth, left and right. My Name is Samsonite (the well-known producer of travel accessories) is a monotone aggressive about the endless journey from nowhere to nowhere. Depending on the viewpoint, this is a nightmare film or a dream film which does not reflect the simple movement/shifting but the very being in the state of movement as a condition of existence of mater = the material body of the contemporary artist.
