This video was filmed at La Rambla a discoteque in Austin, Texas. For this work, a process camera was brought into the discoteque and placed centrally on the dance floor. Surrounded by television monitors, mirrors, and a circling cast of dancers, the process camera doubled as subject of spectacle and object of artifice: to be instantly regarded and forgotten.
