B. Ingrid Olson, I am wandering around an exhibition. The space is less like a gallery and more like an attic. Half lit and warm. There is a video monitor that is not turned on, so we turn it on. It begins near its end—it must not have been rewound. The video shows a man going up a set of stairs to a bridge over train tracks. Cuts to train tracks with the camera in center of tracks. The single headlight of a train comes closer and more into focus as it fast approaches. It will almost hit the camera but stops just short. Once stopped, the camera pans just to the right, to see a toy train strapped to the larger train. I almost laugh at the absurdity, the miniaturization. The video switches scenes to a painterly ochre and pink pool of water. In the pool, a man and a woman are curled around each other performing oral sex. She holds a semi- transparent fake leather purse over her face to muffle her cries of pleasure. Then she stands, multiplies, and becomes many. She is a drawing now. Now the video is at the beginning again: an image of an intaglio print is animated. Two women who are twins are speaking into each other’s eyes and mouths, alternately. They are silhouettes asking: “Where should we begin?” Then the camera pans side to side showing oblique angles of the print, revealing that the flat image is not actually flat. It sticks out from the front and from the back. On the back side, a dark crevice between the frame and wall also has a silhouetted face. This silhouette whispers something inaudible.
