In the Venezuela pavilion of the Venice Biennial, I came across Clemencia Labin’s art video entitled “The Street”. The interesting thing about this time-lapse type video is that as the pace of the traffic on the street picked up, the speed of the video picked up. At the beginning of the video, early morning light bathes the scene and a woman walks slowly down the road away from the viewer. The road slowly contains more people doing different things, until at the end the road is a night scene packed with people. The video was looped with white in-between that for me, separated one day from the next. The piece can be viewed on Ms. Labin’s website.
