"(Spontaneous) Self Portrait w/ Slug"

   
2:19 silent video loop (2003)

The camera tracks a small garden slug as it slowly explores my face, starting on an eyebrow and traversing my forehead slowly. The slug continues blithely across a lens of my glasses before lowering itself onto my cheek and eventually into my beard. When installed, this video is meant to be viewed on a small LCD screen, preferably tucked into a corner or other out of the way spot.

This video was shot spontaneously while working on writing for another project.
