Curator and writer George Vasey joins 2013 Bloomberg New Contemporaries artist Simon Senn to discuss the ethics and aesthetics of Senn’s practice within the wider context of the documentary form today. Simon Senn’s films deal with human behavior and patterns of interaction. His explorations of group dynamics and individual responses take place in contexts defined by the artist, including an artist’s talk, a friend’s bedroom and a South African housing project. Through his deliberately candid filming technique and other interventions Senn reveals and heightens existing tensions within a given social setting.
