David Cross
8 Nov – 17 Nov 2001
(A Performance)
Cross himself was a permanent feature at Enjoy during his exhibition. Cross lay on the ground, his head inside a customwood box, with a hole cut in the top so that one of his eyes could be seen. At the other end of the space were three other boxes of the same size, containing monitors, screening images of his face filmed under different conditions—one in daylight, one in neon light and one at night. Cross has a condition which results in his eyes weeping continuously. The degree to which this occurs depends on lighting conditions.
