Descending Potemkin Steps [excerpts], single-channel video, 2010-2011

I finally uploaded some excerpts from one of my videos in progress. In the video, I walk in a straight line at a steady pace down the centre of the Potemkin Steps in Odessa, Ukraine, made famous in Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 silent film Battleship Potemkin. The video presents a simple performative gesture as an approach to inhabiting a historically-charged site.
