Working primarily with video and television footage, Omer Fast examines how individual and collective histories interact. With an eye to narrative structures and constructions, he mixes sound and image into stories that veer between the personal and the media’s account of current events and history. The Power Plant exhibition included three significant projects spanning the last decade that reveal his facility with and critique of the languages of media, cinema, documentary, and contemporary art. On view were CNN Concatenated (2002), begun in the aftermath of 9/11, in which Fast edits clips from CNN’s “talking heads” so that each word is spoken by a different newsperson; Five Thousand Feet is the Best (2011), based on conversations the artist conducted with a US Predator drone aerial vehicle operator; and Continuity (2012), a fictional narrative about a middle-aged German couple reuniting with their son, a young soldier just back from service in Afghanistan.
