This is driving me quackers (2011)

2 min 59 secSingle channel / Digital Video / Colour / Sound

Wearing a Donald Duck suit, the artist faces the camera and makes wordless noises approximating the sound of the Duck.

Like several of the artists other works, This is driving me quackers shows the artist making an absurd attempt to communicate a public face via the camera.
