Public Figures

installation

Video installation Public Figures was shot from a moving metro car while entering the station, using a digital high-speed camera. The result is an endless shot of people on a subway platform passing by in slow motion. The tranquil movement of the camera and stillness of the people portrayed, give room for a hypnotic chain of thoughts and associations. The platform seems to have transformed into a stage where everyday people's small gestures and simple routines turn into a performance. Erik Olofsen is a visual artist living and working in The Netherlands. His video installations are considered to be the excellent visual experiences.
