The video Rehearsing Remembering Something... is part of works using short performative actions for the video camera.

Here the endless rehearsal and repetition of a spontaneous everyday gesture is at the heart of the investigation into notions of intution, intention and language and their relationship towards artistic endeavours. The title of the work, thought up before, is subsequentely used as a kind of instruction for the execution of the action.
