This video, with its bird’s -eye view of a car park, translates reality-derived content into a different dimension. Vehicles are seen driving into and reversing out of parking spaces, people are getting in and out of their cars, crossing the road or walking past. The artist’s superimposed hands then enter into the frame as if to take control of the action, seemingly moving the cars and people around. At once the artist suggests the playfulness of toyland and the absurd megalomania of an overgrown child.
