| Descending Potemkin Steps 2010 - 2011 single-channel high-definition video 04:35 16:9, b&w, stereo sound In the video, I walk in a straight line at a steady pace down the centre of the Potemkin Steps in Odessa, Ukraine, made famous in Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 silent film Battleship Potemkin. The video presents a simple performative gesture as an approach to inhabiting a historically-charged site. |
