Heavy Rotation

🎞️ Movie 15 min --
2011

Chris Larson's video Heavy Rotation (2011) deals with a theme that has recurred frequently through the history of art: the artist at work in the studio. Here, though, the studio is not simply the location of the artwork's genesis; the artist uses the artwork itself to dissect the space-and ultimately destroy the site-of its own production. In the video, Larson uses a turntable apparatus to inscribe circles onto paper, eventually perforating it. He continues the action until he breaks through the floor, creating a disorienting passage into unexpected new spaces.
