ONE RANDOM YEAR

Is life a collection of random events or a story with a narrative? Bettina Forget‘s project One Random Year explores this question. The artist took a one-minute video every day during 2011 and created a 365-minute movie of her life. Says the artist: “Does my life have an over-arching narrative, one that I’m not seeing because I’m in it but which may become apparent when I watch the movie? The format of film does suggest a narrative because the medium itself is built for story telling. And we have a natural tendency to impose patterns and meanings onto random events. But is my life entirely random?” The entire six-hour film is currently being screened at Visual Voice Art Gallery until March 24, 2012.
