Gravel Spokesman Explains Experimental Video Making Rounds: "It's Interpretational"
By Eric Kleefeld | bio
This video that's been making the rounds on the Internet is very ... interesting — it shows former Senator and current presidential candidate Mike Gravel doing nothing but staring into the camera for a solid minute, motionless, as if peering into the viewer's very soul. He then throws a rock in a pond and walks off into the distance. We asked Gravel's spokesman about it, and got some intriguing answers. But first, give it a watch:
Exciting, huh? We asked Mike Gravel's press secretary, Alex Colvin, what the point of it is. And Colvin tells us that there's no single, intrinsic point here at all.
Colvin's answer: "Where he's coming from is that, it's less about him coming across with a heavy political message in this video, as much as it is the message of the impression the viewer will have, looking at him."
According to Colvin, however, one element of this post-modern work does have a definite message: The part where Gravel picks up the rock and throws it into the pond. Colvin says this has "to do with the work with the campaign, the ripple effect of his campaign, his work as a politican and kind of the feedback we've got in South Carolina, in communities all across the country. Our message is rippling across the country. Then he walks off, we go on."
Colvin seemed honestly surprised when we informed him that many people viewing the video regard it — not to mention Gravel himself — as weird. "I can't understand the incredulous — there are a lot of incredulous responses we're getting. But that's it, it's interpretational."
Colvin clarified, however, that the vid was not merely a ploy to get attention. "Not at all, this isn't propaganda to get a reaction. This is not a reaction thing. Like I said, the senator is as much about the impression people can get from looking at the senator — it's as much about that as trying to get across a political message," Colvin said. "This is not about reaction at all. This is an expression of Mike Gravel." | first of all, is this even real?
and if it IS, then THAT'S his campaign strategy?  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
