The best of me is a video installation consisting of two projections exhibited in different rooms. Each of the two videos is a replacement of the famous videos of Ricardo Lopez, the so-called Bjork stalker who in 1996 filmed himself in his house while building a bomb to send to the Icelandic singer, with whom he was obsessed. Twenty hours of videos shot over 9 months in which his thoughts, his daily life and his activities are documented in a sort of ante litteram vlog. The best of me shows two sides of the footage that are often ignored: on one hand its experimentation with the device, its use of the video camera as an expression of the self; on the other hand, the few moments in which Lopez does not speak and stops to reflect. Together, the two projections account for a material of great theoretical interest that goes beyond the simple initial shock.
