Mark Deans video is 8 hours long and titled " When I Was A Child ( I Was Fucked By Someone I Didn't Know - Nothing Was Ever The Same . Now I Fear The Same Thing Will Happen to My Child: Sometimes I Fear I Will Do It Myself)" It shows him with his sleeping daughter filmed by an infra-red camera. I don't know if I like the title.If it is true then it is brave or shabby self exploitation . If false it is recklessly daring. Either way it asks questions. But sometimes you wish people didn't tell you so much about themselves, it is a burden. Art never seems to try and give any interesting answers. The rest of the work in this show was quite rubbish.
