presentations. Olga/Gabby

Olga- Francis Alys- when faith moves mountains- took place in Lima. took over two years to put together. filmed as documentary. whole town moved sand dune several meters by working together.video is art but what shot is. so doesnt alter or edit footage. meaning of group of people moving mountain. uses shots of the slums and poor areas. poor because civil war refugees. helicopter scene made whole thing seem pointless. like machine can do what man can do but better. pity isnt the point.

Gabby- Francis Alys- work similar to fluxus. paradox in practice- pushes ice through streets of mexico city. slowly melts away. making something leads to nothing. attitude change to noncaring. Pointless task. cuts into 5 min. diagetic sound. Existentialism?? most of works are humorous. no one seemed to notice him or care. trail of moisture evaporates so wats the point?
