Faith Holland

Artist’s Statement, 02:40, Color, Stereo, US, 2011

Special Mention

Jury member, Čed Pakuševskij highlights the work “Artist’s Statement” by Faith Holland because of the subversive potential of the work within the context of video festival.

“Artist’s Statement” is a commentary on the emptiness of the language often (but not always) used to describe art. Although the video is from the point-of-view of the artist, the problem of trying to verbally describe visual work extends to that of curators, critics, and the like.
