video art world

looking on video art world website.

click on narrative then click search.
These are just some of the videos that come up in the results:

  1. Animal Refusal by Sofia Hulten (2006)
  2. White Lies by Susanne Weirich (2007)
  3. Working Girl by Corine Stuebi (2004)
All of these above videos use narrative in a different sense. 
Whether it's thought out and edited in a certain way to create narrative or narration or whether it's an organic process of creating the narration, it's still a main element of their video art pieces.


I personally love the organic use of narration, or where there has been no editing or forward planning as such, because I can relate to it on a personal note. It's easy to feel emotion or laugh at the appropriate times because I feel like too rather than believe that someone has created a video where they have created moments where they want people to feel a certain emotion at a certain time.
However, I do like how the use of editing and thought have created a narrative that is forced and manufactured. It highlights a sense of purpose and notoriety and prominence. These videos have been thought about throughly.
