There was a boy
is a three screen video installation, in which actors repeatedly tell the same joke to each other while at the same time assuming various emotional states.
The installation intends to create a simultaneous atmosphere of purpose and absurdity in the viewers mind - are we watching a kind of game or contest here of which we do not know the rules or merely a random sequence of deliveries ?

 Installation view: Slade School of Fine Art, 'Degree Show', London 1999
