A few years ago, Seattle’s Robert Zverina papered the floor, ceiling
and walls of a small space with snapshots of his life. Walking inside was
like walking into Zverina’s brain and looking around.
It was a great place to be. For Zverina, reality is an exalted state. Because he focuses his praises of it with the deceptively casual force of his economy, he makes videos the way John Ashbery Ashberry writes poems: free associating within a theme, one image suggesting a variation on the next.
Six of his three-minute pocket videos here, funded by 4Culture. Below, three-mind minute Bird. The blackouts serve as line breaks.
Thanks for this. I love how his mind works.
Really wonderful. A series of poetic or ironic observations are slowly drowned out by the “meta” that the birds simply exist. Well done.
