Video "The Life of a Jogger"

2'09

This playful video was part of the art-project 'The Life of a Jogger'. The video was shown on local TV and on the website to attract participants for the performance 'The Life of a Jogger' on the 10th of August 2003. All participants of the 10 kilometer performance wore a cobalt blue T-shirt with the text 'IK SPORT' (I am sporting) on it. Together the joggers jogged through the streets of Rotterdam. A blue moving stain was the visual aspect of the performance. From the walk is a free booklet with pictures of the joggers sweating available, with in the back a newspaper clip in which the newspaper-author thought the project was a failure because the 500 people expected did not show up.
