HERE IS NOW presents a series of everyday events that take on a ritual character. In this work the four windows of Vitrine are transformed into storefronts of different shops. The videos show a Jeweler setting up her window display, a Butcher selling meat, a Miller filling up bags of wheat, and a Window cleaner washing the windows of an empty shop. These performance-like events are all shot through glass walls and the images carry the reflections of their surroundings. Giving rise to multiple layers of images HERE IS NOW transforms the Vitrine into the meeting point of different places and reflections, those that are filmed in the past and those that are of the present.
