Excavation, 2004, video, 4:30 min.
In this work, the artist undertakes the Sisyphean task of chipping away at the layer of concete surrounding his head with the help of a chisel and a hammer. The digging gesture might symbolize his concern with self-exploration, and his quest to uncover what lies deep within his thoughts. This excavation project, which is repeated in a continuous loop, appears as a continuous process with no clear end in sight.
