Gillian Wearing’s Drunk (1999)
Black-and-white, three-channel video lasting twenty-three minutes. The artist invited a group of alcoholics off the east London streets into her studio over a two-year period. As she got to know them, she filmed their activities against a white wall. Thoroughly intoxicated and clutching cans and bottles, the men and women stagger together and alone, fight and reconcile, cling to each other for support, lose control, stumble, fall, pass out, and sleep.
