RE-MOVED

Shown at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow for Glasgow international 08. The two way corridor structure is for a one-to-one mediatised performative installation and is designed as a site specific by making sense of the history of the place and people it is presented to. The work’s meaning is constructed together with the audience’s participation in it. The environment is an mdf/wood structure. Two small corridors of 1 x 2 mts each (2 mts high). The two corridors are: one for myself and one for a member of the public. We will be sited in front of a screen connected to a camera recording and playing back our own delayed mirror image. At times this will be interfered by selected footage about collapsing/rising buildings in Glasgow (National Library of Scotland and Scottish Screen Archive kindly provided video footage). During the dialogue with a member of public I shall ask questions such as: what is memory? what are you looking at? they will overlap aspects of the past with their experience of the present. The participants will be able to continue their collaboration by leaving their comments or memories on the blog. The following equipment will be used: 2 video cameras (high definition minidv), 2 monitors, 2 video delay systems, 1 dvr, 1 video switch, 1 video splitter. Microphones to record to cameras. http://www.elenacologni.com/experiential/removed.html
