Continuous Condition: Wandering Lines Over an Errant Crossing

2008, 6:08

 

One of three videos that make up the installation Continuous Condition, this piece starts from a short clip of a flowing movement over rocks on the Finnish Island of Harakka and re-works it into a number of ‘movements’ of varying length, each with a distinctive signature. The original clip is presented in real-time and then manipulated to produce various rhythms, repetitions, superimpositions, changes of pacing and orientation resulting in abstraction. In the installation it is projected from above onto a square screen six inches off the ground. The square is intended do away with top, bottom and sides, allowing viewing from all sides.
