The artist in a monkey costume presses a button in an elevator. "Ground floor. Doors opening" announces the pre-recorded female voice. It is the beginning of the journey. The artist travels repeatedly between floors, never utilising the lift's purpose of transporting us from one destination to another where we then exit and proceed to the outside world. Ground to first, to ground, to first, to ground, to first, to ground. On the last stop at the first floor, the artist mumbles "um. ground floor", apparently realising the futility of his journey. An quiet yet authoritative voice responds "Are you ok?" to which there is no reply. It is evident that the answer is negative - the human monkey is confused, lost, unable to exit the space that exists between two destinations, neither here nor there but in a constantly mobile equilibrium. Yet, after being questioned, the final scene suggests the journey is over and the artist wishes to leave. Up, down, up, down, a sensation that we can all relate to - in our human relationships, our emotional/psychological wellbeing and the reoccurring physical travels from A to B we undertake. SHAFT highlights the sense of isolation, uncertainty and futility that is sometimes experienced within the inane human journeys we make on a daily basis.
