digital video, 3 minutes, loop
In this video a costumed figure tosses and turns in bed. Is this meant to be Darth Vader or just some lonely fellow’s bedroom ritual? Continually moving from a more death-like supine position to one that is child-like this disheveled character is stuck in an endless loop. The mask conceals the eyes, looking into them it is difficult to tell if the figure is awake or asleep. They give the feeling of an omniscience, all seeing but at the same time in the bed they appear tired and worn out.
