Video represents infrared night footage of the bombing of Baghdad during the first Gulf War (1990-91). The video is projected through a hole in an enlarged explanatory diagram of a painting by Paul Cezanne, which aims to categorically illustrate that artist’s compositional methodology. The diagram however also inadvertently suggests missile trajectories. The footage is projected onto a specially built imitation painter’s easel. Visually, the video is highly abstracted and consists of a grainy blue ground upon which light flares intermittently. At times this flaring renders the empty ‘canvas’ being used as a screen, completely white. The suggestion is of world events that are incapable of adequate representation in art.
