FRAKTUR / 2005

Randomly looping DVD
duration variable

Fraktur is a looping DVD featuring footage of broken LED signage.

In keeping with my interest in the mechanics of communication, Fraktur directs the eye towards the physical aspect of the letterform. At this decontextualizing level of focus, one can find accidental details (such as those resulting from malfunction) that add meaning as well as subtract it. Through the aestheticization of the letter, the work asks if some fundamental content remains even in the absence of narrative.
