GambierbigjpgJill Magid’s Gambler Night DVD edited police CCTV footage 4:11min. soundtrack: Astrale by Giovanni Fusco 2005

“Gambler Night is composed of two simultaneous views of a city street at night. Filmed on public surveillance cameras and saved in time-lapse format, the video rhythmically alternates between the two perspectives: Camera 3, Camera 4 Camera 3, Camera 4…While one camera view remains stable, the other travels. It tracks a woman and closes in upon her. As the cars pass, their blue headlights glow. A ghostly film score overlays the footage.”

Composite Forensic composite drawings (ongoing); letters from the artist 2005 “Based on the cognitive interview used by police, FBI, and forensic artists to acquire information from a witness about a suspect, I write a letter. In the letter I ask people I have known to recall from memory my face in detail.”

“I write a second letter, to forensic artists, explaining that a woman is absent, that I can provide a description of her, and that I require their help to realize Her.
Positioned between the describers, I mediate the process between them for as long as they will allow me to do so, or until She comes into view.”
