BOB

2007

Two-channel digital film installation

35mm colour- stereo sound

1’17” seamless loop

Two 40" HD LCD screens and computer housed in a rusted steel-plate box

183 x 122 x 62 cm

Edition of five

Part film, part sculpture, part geometric puzzle with a cyclical, Möbius strip structure, BOB indulges our innate appetite for symmetry and rhythm by following the relentless footsteps of a man in a repetitive rut.

The fact that there are an infinite number of BOBs walking this corridor becomes obvious early on. It may take a little longer to work out whether we are following one BOB on his endless journey or following alternate BOBs up and down the same small section of corridor.
