Video Idea for Bath

I had an idea for the Festival Arts Bath KIngdom of Boredom open call, which is going to be based in laundrettes around Bath. I really love the theme and the idea because its interesting to view work in an ordinary setting and when people perhaps aren't expecting to encounter art. For this reason I came up with a work that would be really puzzling if you were not very accustomed to contemporary art.

I submitted this as an initial proposal for the idea...

The work would be a small cathode ray TV positioned on top of the washing machines (or in a suitable place in the laundrette). The TV would continuously play a video taken of one of the washing machine's circular windows as it completes one washing cycle. The footage will play backwards. 

My intention is for the work to be a subtle intervention in the situation, using familiar aspects of the surroundings but with a very minor change. The use of a TV sets up the work under a guise of being entertainment - provided for the people waiting for their washing - but the video perverts their expectation and the reality of the process that is taking place below. 

Update: the lady was thrilled with my idea, but the work wasn't able to go ahead because the laundrette said no to having any av equipment. I think I will keep the work in mind for the future, I would still be keen to see it realised.
