Can't Undo
DV, Sašo Vrabič, Slovenj Gradec, 2001, 10'
Script & Dir: Sašo Vrabič
Camera: Sašo Vrabič
Music: Singers Unlimited
"'Can't Undo' by Sašo Vrabič portrays black
and white images of close-ups of airplanes in a
slow and gradual crescendo. The airplanes slowly
reveal themselves as children's toys floating through
the sky. The viewers are implored to question their
perception and consider the manner in which they
relate their vision to previous memories."
from Haunted by Detail, (cat.), De Appel Foundation,
Amsterdam, p.32
Black and white video with its soft jazz vocal theme
of a song "Try to remember" is like a
contrast to images of flying airplanes and burning
fire shown in the video. Airplanes are not the real
ones but they're toys which look very realistic.
The video was made for a show Discontinuity of Time
- Part one: terorism and is like an illustration
and association for terorist attack on New York
in the year 2001. The lyrics is also straight: "..Try
to remember the fire of September when life was
young and o, so mellow..." Video reminds us
with its picture quality and sound on the pioneer
days of the television.
