This work returns to the early days of video art with a one camera/one person performance. In a direct address to camera, the artist/performer speaks in the second person, to “you,” which is the viewing audience, the spectator. This direct address is related to “you” and to the space of representation which he occupies. It is a love story of representation.

Amy is an eighteen minute looped projection with stereo sound. Three photographs of Amy form the basis for the movie, each is a reflection on looking, and they are presented in reverse chronology. All are taken on the beach, and in each Amy answers the look of the camera, more than aware she is being photographed.The pictures were made by American photographer Jock Sturges who, for many years, has documented the transition from girl to woman, producing scores of idealized nudes in natural settings with a large format camera.

SCALING is a five minute, silent looped projection. It shows a man (Mike Hoolboom) painting a white wall black, while another unpaints the black wall back into white.

IN THE THEATRE deploys a series of intertitles and received pictures to reflect on the passing of Canadian video artist Colin Campbell.

Three shorts from Imitations of Life (THE GAME, PORTRAIT, SECRET) produce a life of pictures, in pictures, as pictures.

THREE STAGES reflect s on the “three ages” of a person (childhood, middle age, old age). Two of them wereshoted in Vila do Conde and Toronto and in the third one Hoolboom overlays a meditative narrative on living and dying, of living forwards and backwards, of remembering and forgetting, parlayed through the common picture world, the image world of movies that we all inhabit, where matter dissipates and bodies disappear—as if we are always and only already nothing but images.

Hoolboom plunders all of cinema for this epic meta-science fiction in which the future and the present are conceived as an endless parade of images. Science fiction as a realm of displaced fears and dreams, a place to imagine a future that's already here.

Fontage is a ten minute silent loop projection. A collaboration with Dutch filmmaker Fred Pelon, it tells the story of a man’s life in episodic moments derived from super-8 home movies.
