              Security Guards is a short documentary shot on location at the Jeu de Paume. The film shows this prestigious Parisian contemporary art centre through the eyes of the security guards. Questioning the role of art in society, the film connects the political context of Paris today with the rising tension between the Sarkozy administration and issues around immigration within an elitist French, white, bourgeois art world.

              The artist is suspended in the air in the midst of a grove of trees, spouting water in the form of a human fountain. The video is meant to trigger various interpretations: lawn-sprinkler, black pinata having sprung many leaks, ninja, woodland creature, or sacrificial performance, all of which are informed by the context in which the action takes place.

              Canada's tar sands are an oil reserve the size of England. Extracting the crude oil called bitumen from underneath unspoiled wilderness requires a massive industrialized effort with far-reaching impacts on the land, air, water, and climate. It is an extraordinary spectacle, the scope of which can only be understood from high above. In a hypnotic flight of image and sound, one machine's perspective upon the choreography of others, suggests a dehumanized world where petroleum's power is supreme.
