Jason's Fianl Take Two


In my final video you see me trying different chairs. The first few do not suit me and they do not feel comfortable so I go on trying until I get to the last one which I actually like and decide to stay in. Although the chairs are visually the dominant element in the video, it is not really about the chairs. I use them as a metaphor for what I really want to say.
I created this video to make a social critique and show the difficulties one might have to find the right spot within society. Sometimes a certain place, surrounding or group of people simply does not suit you and it feels uncomfortable, just like a chair. If it does not fit, it is time to move on and find the right chair (place) for you. In addition, the framing of my video underlines this intention. I am not always completely visible and parts of me are missing, just as if one I do not feel complete when my surrounding is not "comfortable". To sum up, I am trying to show the process of finding my right spot in this society.
