The Fourth Watch

Janie Geiser US, 2000, 11', 16 mm

For some artists, the prevalence of media in increasingly multiple forms is itself a reason to doubt images, but Janie Geiser eschews the flat, easily ironic route of many such doubters in favor of richly resonant fantasy worlds. Video monitors superimposed into a dollhouse in her The Fourth Watch show silent movie actors; this reference to the past suggests ghosts inhabit the dwelling. (Fred Camper)
