"Aimless trajectory" | Edwin Stolk | 2011

"AIMLESS TRAJECTORY" consists out of a wandering; Edwin Stolk invites a viewer to become participant, to step together into a 'pistage' green 1995 Volkswagen polo which is owned by him. Where the journey goes is not defined, how long it will take neither. There is no route planned in front, nor time schedule known. While they are cruising the streets, highways, viaducts, roads, on their intuition, two video screens in the back of the car show film material of 'similar' surroundings, transport infrastructures.

This attempt is inspired by the walks organised by the Situationist International. The wandering initiated by me has the aim to search new forms and visions concerning our idea of reality and perception of reality. The title AIMLESS TRAJECTORY refers to the form of drifting [dérive] described by the situationists.

The video above is a short example of a much longer version.

The wandering is also to subvert areas that are reserved for capitalist activities and for other things. It may have been done to upset the established order by introducing randomness.
