I'm currently working on a project for my sculpture/spacial practice class, here are some screen shots of the first manifestation of the concept.
Essentially the idea is to film myself across the city on security camera-esque footage cleaning various areas in a fictional cleaning company uniform (keep in mind this was just a test run).
This is a close up of the nearly-finished name tag I made to go with the 'uniform'. Sims Whittaker was a company my father co-owned before I was born, the shirt I used for the video was an old work shirt from said company - hence using the same name on the tag. I am only using that name temporarily till I can come up with my own fake company.
Anyone interested in fiction as art should look up Peter Hill, here http://www.superfictions.com/ and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfiction (now don't berate me because it's a wikipedia article - it is still insightful and has a good list of other artists working with fiction at the bottom of the page!).
