Sick Film, (Work No. 547)

  • 20'
  • United Kingdom
  • 2006
The works of Martin Creed follow basic concepts, simple conceptual structures and clear installation directives. With his most recent film / video installation, SICK, Martin Creed follows his motto I am trying to get from the inside out. The film involves 19 separate takes of people vomiting to camera, depicting vomiting as ideal gesture to express feelings in as direct a manner as possible. By employing a sort of action painting technique the result does not only by chance remind of works of the abstract expressionism. His latest work is Shit Film. As the title suggests, this will involve footage of people defecating to camera.
