 Around Maryon Park (excerpt)

Video Single-band 32:00

Video created with Google Street View. In 2010, from Paris, Mesaros attempts to virtually penetrate Maryon Park in London, filming location for a crucial scene in Antonioni's "Blow-Up" (1966). In the film, a photographer discovers a murder through successive enlargements; once evidence disappears, nothing remains. Here, the succession of fixed Google Street images vainly attempts to find trace of past events. The work questions technological mediation of memory, impossibility of direct access to reality, and disappearance of evidence in the age of generalized surveillance.
