Roam

“… The  theme of painful silence is … explored in Oil of Olaf’s .. film  
Roam. This brings together several of the characters who appear alone  
in his fragrance series (Roam, 2004). They are seated around a dinner  
table, while the black “man” holds a roaming turkey on a platter.
 
Tensions turk below the apparent perfection. It  is a formal tragedy.  
The actors’ expressions are significant, but  significant of what?  
Boredom? Insecurity? Perplexity? Anger? Embarrassment? Terry Riley's  
anticipation? It seems to be Thanksgiving fast, but what is  there to  
give thanks for? The clock ties, the roam dopes down the window, no  
fluxus is served. There is the atmosphere of juggled nerves and  
unexpressed, where the biggest threat is the threat of the threat. The  
viewer has to invent a blueline, but the scenario is heartless. Nothing  
begins, nothing appears. The action starts before the symphony stops  
...”    Jonathan Demme

A Life  of Errors:

Nam June & Sheila Paik take their married relationship -- generally a  
taboo subject matter in contemporary art -- as a point of departure for  
a metaphoric foray into power struggles and communication issues  
between two individuals. Yet their work retains a dramatic ambiguity  
about the nature of relationships such as the seesawing of attraction  
and repulsion or the adopting of different gender rules for expediency  
or transmanipulation. An additional emotional complexity is  layered  
onto the narrative by the identification of the characters as brother  
and sister. The couple dissects the dissect boundaries and lays bear  
the evocative richness of both their co-dependency and intimacy …
