Different ‘voices’ always occupy Reinke’s work. Though Reinke’s voice-over is very personal, authorial identity is dispersed. He invites us to look reflexively – to ask hard questions about ourselves, our desires, and our relationships to images. The latest missive from the artist finds him recovering an errant CBC documentary and finding a new way of looking at it by working on the soundtrack. He sees with his ears, with his mouth. He applies his mouth to this footage, he gives it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, so now it can be seen again.
