The Compelled Foreshortening (1999)

Description
A doll looking like a baby lies in a baby-carriage, with a video camera attached to a doll that one can see camera’s screen only.
The baby-carriage rolls through the museum halls, and camera records everything that baby should see, including people and children who come, look in the pram and speak with the “little one”.
Camera records everything that gets into the up-directed lens, as if it was the glance of a baby lying in a baby-carriage.
