Every morning outside Seattle-based artist Yunmi Her’s window, a factory worker stepped outside, ordered a sausage and drink from a food truck behind the building, ate it on the lid of a trash bin, and entered back through the blue door he exited from. Her—riveted by this quotidian routine—recorded her observations with a camera. Compelled by the idea of closeness to this worker, she created a video work based on her extrapolations of the factory worker’s life outside those brief moments they spent “together.” Using a two-channel video, male and female voice-overs, and Twitter accounts, Her explores the “shared but different” perspectives of subject and observer.
