Hello all
Sometime around the
year 2000 when I was a neurosis driven Art student at central Saint Martins
(not much has changed other than I’m not a student anymore) I began making a
video called “Everybody keeps telling me everything is going to be ok”. It
comprised of short 5 second clips of people telling me “Everything’s going to
be ok”. I think I’d compiled about ten minutes worth on a VHS tape I can no
longer find.
I’ve decided that was
a real shame, I wish I’d kept doing it, and I wish I could find that tape.
However I’ve decided I’d like to remake it, with everybody in the world, or at
least as many as possible. If I could make a 24 hour video of reassurance that
would be just great. It’s probably a bit of a weird thing to ask for, but I
think I’m coming to terms with being a bit weird. I think it may make for an
interesting video, and in the right room a place people can go and be given
some sort of false reassurance.
Which ultimately is what it is. You take what you want from what is offered I guess.
So what I would like
is …
In any way you would
want to do it, a short clip saying “everything’s going to be ok” spoken to
camera and sent to babakganjei@hotmail.com
it can be from any device, phone laptop camera, I don’t care.
Also if you could pass
this on so it reaches as many people as possible…
I’m aware this
approach will ultimately bring about people who own apple products so I will go
hassling people in person also…
If anybody takes this
seriously, thank you. It would be very nice to finish this work, and find a
space to stick it in. I look forward to what may come.
Babak
