Two Screen Projection's



The image displayed on the top left here is a video piece by Jane and Louise Wilson 'Gamma' 1999, and below it is an image of Susan Hiller's piece 'An Entertainment' 1990. Both pieces project the same footage but onto two screens at once. This idea interests me because the movements of the video become different as they are played together synchronised. What is also effective is when two slightly different pieces are played together because this creates contrast.

In my previous project I displayed my work similar to these pieces, as a two screen projection. I looked at playing a video slowed down by 50% on one projection and a video slowed down by 20% on the other to see the difference, and to see them fall out of sync with each other. I like that idea of contrasting movements and sounds, and it works well with the boxing videos. I was thinking of doing a two screen projection of up close videos of just the foot movement of boxers.
