Miguel Santos - I wannabe a goldfish

I wannabe a goldfish.

One channel colour video installation, no sound. 2001

I wanna be a goldfish, is a video installation dealing with the impossibility of alienation. As, sooner or later, we all need to come to the surface and refill our lungs with fresh air. A video of the artist trying to breath for as long as possible underwater is projected to the bottom of a fish-tank while three goldfishes keep swimming.
