Ritual and Repetition

A Charmed Life, 2002
3 min excerpt – Full Running Time 25 hours
Gregory Steel – Carmel Indiana

This video performance was filmed over a 6 month period, every day I performed the same exact sequence of unwrapping and wrapping the object with the rope. It begs the question of how much of our day becomes a mindless exercise in futility and does the habit of this ritual serve any real purpose? The original video was complied into a 25 hour segment presented in Barcelona Spain and in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan.
