Summary (English)
A queue is a long line of people, while a video is a long sequence of frames. They both move in one direction, slowly, pausing, whimsically. Because it's hard to be constrained in one direction, line and sequence. Fluctuations need an outlet, whether mental or physical. The hardest thing is to not do anything.
The queue was recorded outside the art center Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris, 2014.
Summary (Norwegian)
En kø er en lang rekke mennesker, mens en video er en lang sekvens av bilder. De beveger seg begge i én retning, sakte, pauser, lunefullt. Fordi det er vanskelig å være begrenset i én retning, linje og sekvens. Svingninger trenger et utløp, enten det er mentalt eller fysisk. Det vanskeligste er å ikke gjøre noe.
Køen ble tatt opp utenfor kunstsenteret Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, Paris, 2014.
