The Storage

Sample video:

In The Storage the video camera carefully scans a warehouse as if it were looking for something, while the sound of a bouncing ball directs the sequence of the shots and makes the camera move like an eye surveying the space. The feeling that something is about to happen, is subverted by the smiley face on the children’s ball which blinks urgently, like the light of a siren, causing unexpected and ambiguous associations. The warehouse functions as a metaphor for the unconscious, a mental ‘storehouse’ where things that we do not perceive occur much in the same way that the smiley reveals its presence decisively and inevitably’; both ‘shine’ momentarily and finally are imposed on us.
