Character Analysis #2: Sing
Dimensions variable. Mixed media installation. 2003
Troy, New York
|
Sing seems a very vulnerable character.
This installation could only be viewed
through a reflection in a mirror that was visible through the open
door of a closet. In turn, the viewer could only see the open closet
door by peeping through the window of an exterior door. It made
the viewing require an intimacy born of voyeurism that seemed appropriate
to Sing’s character.
Regarding Sing:
a. Has *one soft chair in his living room and one red ball cap to make him feel n-n-normal.
b. Would rather feel the unpleasant something that accompanies Charlotte than the nothing nothing that preceeded her.
c. Whenever he hears Charlotte taking a shower downstairs, he stands, sometimes clothed, in
his own bathtub, convinced he can smell her essence.
d. Is aware he is regarded as an objective condition . . . as in
“I don’t have time for this.”
or
“Were you always like this”?
* This is all he has in his living room. Since their apartments are laid out the same, he can more easily picture her moving around.
