Kiss

Robert Bowers
Canada 1971 Video 5 min

The camera opens in a close-up of a pair of lips on which a snail shell has been placed. The performer remains motionless, and reassured by the stillness, the snail gradually emerges from its shell and crawls away. A simple exposition of video as framing device for body-based and time-based performance, and a concise metaphor for the relationship between intimacy and trust.

The ifpod project is an experiment in polymorphous dissemination aimed at infiltrating the mobile YOUniverse with a unique collection of ten Canadian video art works - on the down load for any and every possible screen.
