Statement
"eight ball" is a compilation dvd, which combines a still
photograph and a video projections layered together to make up a
punk teenage outbreak of destroying, what appears to be a grandparents
living room (stylized from the 50's) or a possible waiting area.
These three British teens dance wild, singing, throwing toilet paper,
write on the walls and generally raise trouble. Although the viewer
only is able to see a ghostly appearance of them in this small room,
and not the actual damage performed. For the most part, they are
contrasting the interior designed room, and are hoping to breakdown
a possible stereotype, which goes with the space, by luring their
audience into a chaotic performance. |
