Description: "I became restless with the flat surface of the screen
so the work gradually evolved into the rest of the space," says
Doug Aitken of his multichannel film work. Lately he has been
projecting from multiple points onto a single structure. And he has
turned from wide-open and lonely landscapes (Electric Earth,
Diamond Sea) to wide-open and lonely people (new skin). The
protagonist of the surreal "Alpha," played by cult actor Udo Kier
is both: as he travels, he dematerializes and becomes the space
that he inhabits. Luckily for readers, Aitken is as bored with the
square shape of the conventional book as he is with the
conventional screen: this collection of "Alpha" images, accompanied
by text from the artist, is bound in the shape of a head in
profile.
