Listening to VTR

Statement about two video pieces by Bruce Parsons. The piece Ear to the Line uses simultaneous tapes and strategic microphones to present two visual and aural perspectives on work. Turning the World similarly plays with perspective as the tape shows a distant figure circumscribing a large field while the audio reveals the inscrutable figure as a woman who regales the unseen cameraman with intimate anecdotes.
