Emergency workers slowly mill about, but the purpose of th
2、eir activity is not clear. A line of cars stretches into the distance, their occupants gazing indifferently on this putative accident.The images come from Refraction, a video by the Dutch artist Aernout Mik that opens tomorrow at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in Chelsea. The solo exhibition cou
3、ld bring about a new prominence for Mr. Mik, whose work has been shown with increasing frequency in Europe during the last decade but is not widely known in the United States. Nothing in Refraction is quite what it seems. The images are dreamlike, but shot in high-definition video that suggests a ne

It was shot in a single day on a lonely road in rural Romania using participants who received only vague instructions on how to act.The work raises que
5、stions about our responses to catastrophe, tragedy and even traffic congestion. Mr. Mik says that collective consciousness is an important theme of his work, and he seems to approach his subjects as a sociologist or entomologist might. Its not about character, he said in an interview, after flying i

They appear to be placing the debris into clear plastic sample bags. A possible bioterrorist attack? No other cues provide an answer. Mr. Mik at first intended
8、 to make his accident entirely victimless, but at the last moment, he said, he decided to produce shots of a few people who, presumably, were on the bus. Several are wrapped in blue flannel blankets; one woman is in a shiny metallic sheet as an aid worker speaks to her. No one appears traumatized, s
9、o the extent and nature of these victims injuries are unknown. Less depressing, but equally memorable, is a moment when a herd of sheep and goats amble from the surrounding fields onto the road. Their origins and destination are unexplained, but the comparison to the human flock is pretty clear.Mr.
10、Mik, who is 42 and based in Amsterdam, has had several dozen solo exhibitions across Europe since 1995, but until this year his work has been displayed in the United States only a handful of times. He resists being called a video artist, however, and prefers to describe the work as a mixture of medi

16、辆公共汽车翻倒在乡村高速大路上，像脱节的肢体一样四分五裂。急救人员在毫无目标地打转，但他们这种活动的目的并不明确。汽车的队列向远处延长，车主们冷漠地盯着这场虚构的事故。这一场景来自于荷兰艺术家Aernout Mik的录像作品。该作品将于明天在切尔西的当代艺术新展览馆展现。此次个人展出将会为Mik先生带来更大的知名度。在过去的十年中，Aernout Mik的作品在欧洲频繁展出，但是在美国仍不是广为人知。在Refraction中显示出的东西和它原来的样子很不相同。图象如梦幻一般，却是用高清楚度的录像机拍摄的，它显示了一个极端扭曲的资讯。录像长约30分钟，是无声连续循环播放的，除了叙述的弧度什么也没有。这次拍摄是在罗马尼亚一条偏僻的乡村大路上花了一天时间完成。它的参预者只收到关于如何表演的模糊指导。Ae
