" The centerpiece of B’s exhibition at C is a new architectural installation created especially for Copenhagen. The installation takes the form of a giant pissoir which drains directly onto the gallery floor, and which visitors are invited to enter and use. The pissoir, like many of B’s works, evokes the monumental neoclassicism that is a recurring strand in Western art and architecture. B’s installation satirizes this tradition, but also suggests a more serious point: how power attempts to use architecture to direct behavior – and to define what it means to be a citizen – even down to the codification of pissing."

" Let's see. Perhaps at first you feel a bit lost, as when a person appears who, from the frame, you identified with a certain face, and you try to make the features you are seeing tally with those you had in mind, and it won't work. But then you go on and realize that the pad is viewable nevertheless, independently of what you expected of the voodler. It's the voodle in itself that arouses your curiosity; in fact, on sober reflection, you prefer it this way, confronting something and not quite knowing yet what it is."

Just pictures from an exhibition muses Renseiw while following a guest recording her own footage with a brand new device, re-po_capturing imagery in self-referential mode..
