Frost Steps

Oleg Yushko 2008
Dual channel HD video projection, 9:16 (Part I: 2.23 min./Part II: 5.33 min.)

Both videos feature five artists having conversations while moving in circles, once in a stadium and once in a park. Dialogues are conducted in Russian with English subtitles. To enhance the sense of subjective experience, 3:4 handheld shooting was used at 9:16 in the video, followed by visible stabilization. The duration of the video loops corresponds to the time during which participants complete one lap in the stadium in Part I and in the park in Part II. By presenting these videos in a constant loop, the author seeks to intertwine their spatial and semantic circles.
