Art historians and cultural workers are commenting various roundabouts. They are filmed from the passenger seat while circling and letting their mind wander about the contexts, sculptures and designs. An anthology of videos made with different drivers in the UAE, France, Germany, and Switzerland.
DRIVER’S COMMENT is an ongoing project. The investigation of traffic circles will lead to different acknowledgements of public interventions as well as perceptions while driving.
Each circle with its design and urban planning as well as specific sculptural works shall be documented by one view through the window from the co-drivers position. The driver himself is commenting the sculptures and architectural set ups; he observes his circling journey, discovering new things each time he goes around. By the specifics of the movie, it appears an interesting combination of steady camera (head and car window will be the same) with the circling landscape outside, although one usually associates such images with a traveling continuation.
In their comments, drivers might also use several concepts and expressions from art history as well as contextual statements and practical explanations about manufacturing issues of artificial landscaping as artistic expression.
