 | | odys, Nathaniel, hektor, X is a video installation that directly addresses questions of multiplicity and possibility to the viewer, referred to as X, through its multiplicity of characters: odys, Nathaniel, and hektor. |
 | | These three 'individuals' spend four minutes on screen, each trying and failing to take control of the space in their own familiar ways, whilst sharing a bagel and a glass of water. |
 | | For example, the same actor plays all three distinct characters; each of the three players (and X) has their own simultaneous soundtrack; and the video is re-projected at full-scale onto a mock-up of the original set, which hangs, sideways, from the wall. |
