Nathan (Hotel Room CT) (2007)
5:30, color, sound

The subject of Nathan answered an ad to join Oliver Herring for some spontaneous art making sessions, a mode of working adopted by the artist in 2001. Nathan is by definition a solo, but it's also a pas de deux between dancer and camera. A young man in casual business attire enters a nondescript hotel room. Immediately he begins a series of improvisatory dance phrases, partnering with chairs, lamps, bed. Repeated attempts at graceful, balletic poses often end in crashes to the floor, broken chairs, and twisted bed sheets

  • I also think alot of people dont realize the importance of exhaustion in olivers work. he searches for that perfect moment. and the only way to find it is to be there from beginning to end. Just like in this video.

  • The concept behind oliver herrings work is great. His work is everyones work and everyones work is his. Collaberation with strangers.

  • stoopid
