Aernout Mik
September 12 - December 31, 2006
Dutch artist Aernout Mik is known for video installations that stage fictional scenes rooted in reality, producing a dreamy uncertainty about reality. Mik combines filmmaking with sculptural installation to create surreal, often semi-apocalyptic scenarios. Refraction is a three-screen projection that depicts the moments after a supposed accident, with a traffic jam visible behind the wreck. Though police, ambulances, and first aid workers stand in shock, no victims are visible. The video continuously shifts between simultaneous shots of onlookers and wreckage, revealing details and wider views.
