Sebastian Buerkner at the Tramway

"The artist often layers different viewpoints of the same sequence to create dual perspectives, suggesting a recollection of experience remem-bered at different times or in different emotional states. In truth, much of Buerkner’s practice is preoccupied with the role of subjectivity and emotional experience, presenting us with a series of narrative possibilities, aesthetic associations and sensory experiences that provoke the viewer into an emotional response by extremes. Buerkner deliberately withholds certain links in the narrative or presents too much information too quickly, hence the viewer becomes part of a process of mental and physical accumulation and association – and ultimately forced into a state of collusion which challenges our own experience of subjectivity."

My description would not have been so useful so a quote from the tramway website will do. It's a really nice piece and i thoroughly enjoyed it, although I do think that the experience of walking around 'inside' the piece is what did it for me. At first I wasn't sure if I was supposed to go inside, but then it occured to me that if the artist had not wanted me to go inside I would not have been able to, it would have been blocked in some way.
