Untitled, 1995
Video-installation
Two video cameras are facing a monitor. They record the part of the space, in which
the monitor is placed, from slightly different perspectives. These images are mixed
by a video mixer and transmitted to the television screen. The cameras are adjusted
in a way that on the screen, the one image of the monitor exactly overlies the other.
When a viewer approaches the monitor from the cameras´ direction, he can observe
on the screen, how his two images, recorded by the cameras from different perspectives
and then transmitted to the screen, increasingly overlap the closer he gets to the monitor,
and exactly coincide when he reaches the screen.
