The video depicts a
quiet landscape scenery with stones, grass, flowers and a partly clouded
sky. In the middle of the field a crude sign reads “THIS IS GOING NOWHERE”. The
camera remains motionless, withholding the perspective of a still,
only the small movements of plants in the gentle breeze and the slow alteration
of clouds serve as evidence of time passing. Is there a story or purpose to
this? Does it mean anything? The questions arising come down to this: Does it
matter?
