Its about time.
After watching "Its about time" with Janine Antoni, I realized her work is something I've never seen before. My favorite artwork that she has made was the rope called "Moor." In the description on the movie, it was described as a life-line, which is what I liked most about it. Since it included peoples clothes and personal objects (such as hair or an electrical cord), it was literally a piece of them from one moment in time. What Antoni created was a twist of all her friends and even her own belongings, so that they all make one giant rope. By twisting them together she intertwined everyones moments. If I made this, I would've called it memory. Since everyones items that made this whole creation is a memory of some material object that was once important in their lives. Another piece that I liked from the video was "touch." I liked how Antoni went through the process of how to walk a tight rope just so she could get the footage of her walking across the horizon. Thats dedication. Those two pieces were the only ones I liked in the video, that other pieces to me seem strange. If I were to look at these pieces in a museum without any explanation I would be confused.
