A triple-screen version of the video Handy Man, this work examines the window as a site of voyeurism and surveillance. With his a video camera, Henricks documented two workers in his interior courtyard. The camerawork has a secretive and furtive feel, treating the male body as an erotic object. This footage forms the basis of a video that attempts to implicate the viewer in processes of exhibitionism and image fetishization. Handy Man is part a series of works that explores one of the principle metaphors of video: the window.
EXHIBITIONS In A Different Light, October 23 to November 21, Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, Scotland.
