Jocelyn Robert, still from the vide Catarina, 2002

In residence from August 19 to September 13, 2002

Opening on Saturday, September 14, 2002 at 5 pm

During my residency I worked on three projects. First, I put the finishing touches on a video installation entitled It shouldn't be cancer, which I had started at Stanford, but which needed some adjustments. I also finished putting together the elements of a CD-ROM catalog that provides an overview of my work over the past fifteen years. Finally, I shot the first images for a new video project.

The audio and video works presented at OBORO were produced over the past two years. In these works, I seek to capture those words lost in the depths of memory, that fleeting memory that tries to resurface, that sudden alignment of obstacles to the gaze: my interest is in the banalytic, in the everyday trajectory of the common human. I look for the moment when things stop.
