Doris Salcedo's Shibboleth Video (Tate Crack)
Anonymous left a comment on the Doris's Crack post, with a link to a video response of the exhibition at the Tate. But he/she must have did something wrong as the link was to Artnewsblog.com. So, I did a search myself and come up with some interesting videos on YouTube.
It shows the work in a new light. The photos that I have seen of Doris's Crack are very staged and only show the work from perspectives that the photographer finds interesting, but letting someone loose with a video camera shows it how it is. It also shows how people interact with it, which is quite interesting. I still have no idea how people are hurting themselves though.
There's another video of the Tate Crack here.

I liked seeing the video and showing how the public interacts with a work of art.
sometime I think the more you try not to trip over something, you trip over the dang thing. Or some people just really don't look down and don't see the crack?

I would like to have seen how the three women with strollers navigated the crack - the video cut away too soon...
Ok, seeing so many people cris-crossing all over a crack in the ground may go some way towards explaining why people hurt themselves ;-)
I would still feel pretty stupid if I tripped on the crack though ;-)
It's a big commitment by the museum. With all the work that was put into creating the crack in the floor, I would cover it with glass or perspex and make it a permanent feature (when the exhibition finishes).

I wish people wouldn't use those arty "fades" between powerpoint slides - very confusing, and adds 50 percent to viewing time.
