Agir

(2006)

AGIR 25-250 (4:10). A 25-second segment from a 25-minute video showing a 25-year old’s face, isolated and stretched so that it is slowed down to 250 seconds. The stretched image is constituted through successive layering. Featuring Clea Haugo.

AGIR 23-230 (3:50). A 23-second segment from a 23-minute video showing a 23-year old’s face, isolated and stretched so that it is slowed down to 230 seconds. The stretched image is constituted through successive layering. There are two versions of this one. Featuring Jaime Angelopoulos.

Agir is part of Interval, where one representative from each age year (between 10 and 60) repeats their age for a period in minutes equal to their age (for example, a 50 year old repeats the number 50 for 50 minutes).
