LEO GABIN – EXIT/ENTRY
2016-01-11The exhibition is a total installation centered around the new film which is entirely composed of footage uploaded by the protagonist herself. From a collection of more than 3,000 videos, Leo Gabin makes a well thought out selection to re-create one typical day in the life of Bonnie. Literally following her from morning to night, they show the viewer, through her lens, what she sees and encounters during her daily routines. While meticulously capturing all activity in her surroundings, she is adding new associations to each banal and seemingly random event. The film shifts between reality and illusion, through a psychological projection of the world’s order. Thoroughly observed, Exit/Entry is oddly savvy. The level of obsession it portrays is utterly fascinating and disturbing, yet it is another mode of isolation prevalent in modern life.
Audio used as a voice-over has been recorded by Bonnie and sent to Leo Gabin to use in the film. Until now they haven’t met in person.
Exhibition runs through to February 6th, 2016
