The Casting, Omer Fast

American videoartist Omer Fast, winner of the 2008 Bucksbaum Award, discusses his 2008 Whitney Biennial work, “The Casting” (2007), a four-channel video featuring a young American army sergeant who recounts two stories–which seem to be his own anguished memories–one about dating a woman while stationed in Germany, and the other of accidentally killing a civilian in Iraq.
