Chair (Interrogative) 2010 duration 3 minutes

The chair used in this video has been with me in my studio for over 10 years now. I sit in it and think  about what it is and what art can 
be. This motivational idea allows me to use the object  (the chair) as a primal concept – in a physical action to question the basic idea 
of what a chair does. It works like this: Idea of Falling > Desire to Fall > Physical act of Falling. 

Interrogative 1. Asking a question or being of the nature of a question.  2. Of, relating to, or being an element or construction used to 
ask a question.  3. A sentence or an expression that asks a question. www.thefreedictionary.com 2012,Farlex, Inc.
