John Wood and Paul Harrison's short performance Cameos combines precise physical exertions with droll and infectious humour. A man trapped in a TV image struggles to keep his head above water, but has no where to go. The video plays mischievous games with the boxed off space of the screen.
Die kurze Performance Kamee von John Wood und Paul Harrison verbindet praezise physikalische Anwendungen mit spassigem und ansteckendem Humor. Ein in einem Fernsehbild gefangener Mann kaempft damit, seinen Kopf ueber Wasser zu halten, er kann jedoch nirgendwo hin. Das Video ist ein freches Spiel mit dem unterteilten Raum des Bildschirms.
