May Windows is an interesting piece that plays with the very concept of visual perception. Shot vertically, this 1976 video challenges conventional viewing habits, urging one to rotate the monitor. It immerses you in a world of two tall white cones, which feel almost like sentinels, guiding your gaze in an abstract landscape. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really engage with the minimalist aesthetic. It’s part of the larger Mirage performance series, which adds layers of context. There’s a certain stillness that lingers, making you contemplate both the physical and metaphorical windows it presents.
May Windows has not been widely distributed, making it somewhat elusive in collector circles. Its connection to the Mirage performance enhances its artistic value, but also contributes to its rarity on physical media. As video art continues to gain recognition, collectors are starting to take a closer look at pieces like this that explore form and presentation in unconventional ways.
