Description
Videotape
;
25
minutes
,
color
,
silent
; "The
idea
that
art
can
provide
access
to an
artist's
inner
being
is
amusingly
, and
pointedly
,
repudiated
here.
Wearing
is
completely
immersed
in her
own
world
. In the
video
,
no
soundtrack
accompanies
her
dancing
. She has
talked
about
her
interest
in
fathoming
people's
inner
motivations
as
being
stimulated
by a
series
of
documentaries
produced
in
1964-77
for
Britain's
BBC/Granada
television
.
Initially
entitled
Seven
Up
, they
tracked
the
lives
of a
diverse
group
of
people
at
regular
intervals
from the
age
of
seven.
"
(Caption

p.240)
; "
Working
in
London
, the
English
artist
Gillian
Wearing
explored
the
disparities
between
people's
interior
and
exterior
lives
in
works
such
as the
25-minute
Dancing
in
Peckham
(1994)
,
where
she
presented
herself
dancing
self-absorbedly
to
imaginary
music
in a
shopping
center.
