Here is an installation of three video works by artist Deirdre Logue, spanning 17 years. They feature no dialogue, save for the quiet of non-human vibrations or the occasional whisper of worry.

These are scenes of animacy, incident, and control — calling into question a dependence on oneself and other beings. At stake in each situation is, at best, a sense of uncertainty.

Also present in these works is an intimacy with something unlike how we usually understand knowing or identity.
