Artist Statement
Although I stood next to these two women in the New Museum, the shot being surreptitious I first saw them only whilst viewing the footage. Slowed down and endlessly looped, they are like pendulum clocks that swing in unison and return to synchrony regardless of how they were started, stopped or otherwise disturbed - a phenomenon first discovered in 1665 by Dutch astronomer and physicist Christian Huygens. When mingling among strangers I often carry a covert video camera at hand to capture glimpses of reality undisturbed by the presence of a perceived observer. On view at Deutsches Haus, 42 Washington Mews, New York, through Aug, 31 2011
