Monitored Landscape / Indirect Land - Trafo Gallery Budapest (2010)



'Robin Tarbet’s live video installation Monitored Landscape No. 12 (2009) attempts to straddle both worlds, presenting us with a passing industrial wasteland created by the relay from a camera mounted on a model train track as it passes an assemblage of circuit boards and electronics.  Tarbet doesn’t cling to his illusion, but rather opens it up with a structuralist filmmaker’s hard honesty'.
