Simultaneously a short and infinite loop, Indeterminate Form 0 addresses scale as a form of measurement of not merely size but of duration, difficulty, and feat – as well as a tool of balance. Focusing on moments in athletic competition where motion and stillness are in a hard-fought equilibrium, the series “Indeterminate Forms” is made up of seven separate video loops that take their names and number designations from the mathematical terms for infinity. Indeterminate Form 0 takes its content from a move in dressage called a piaffe in which the horse trots in place.
As in much of McLean Fahnestock’s work, this piece utilizes appropriated footage. In highly editing events that already have a measure of familiarity, she seeks to open new windows into the private moments of public performance.
