Hiccup #2 - 2003

5 channel DVD video: 15 minutes each, silent
video credit: Reuben HenryConceived as an orchestrated "ballet of the ordinary", the work pivots on the play of two differentiated timelines: my standardized routine of carefully choreographed body movements, juxtaposed against the limitless variables of the everyday world.
This 5-channel video entitled "Hiccup" is based on the original 30 day performance that took place daily between 8:45 am & 9:00 am at Central Tech High School in downtown Toronto. I was invited by at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham England to recreate this work in the UK. I performed the exact same set of movements as the original Hiccup piece on a set of similar concrete stairs in a very busy public area in downtown Birmingham.
