cruiser
(1999)

cruisera video camera captures images that impress upon a viewer the illusion of forms in motion.  from a single frame one must comprehend a visual field of forms in reference to each other.  when these forms change position inside the frame in relation to a viewer there results a much more complex visual experience than if the image were a still one.  the bicycle is a skeletal representation of the glory of human idea and invention.  it is through these frames of reference that we live our human lives.  and it is through five different frames that the world according to cruiser exists:  backwheel, frontwheelframe, frontwheelforks, ground, and self.
