Abstract
Versions 1,2,3 is a video installation that examines the relationship between performativity and the lens, in the staging and re-framing of mediated events. The work begins with improvisations by two people sited in front of a camera. Then, using the documentation obtained from these improvisations as a starting point their singular moments are retraced theatrically, using actors, objects, props and a minimal set. This theatrical production gets remediated back onto video. Taken as a whole, the work examines the unfolding of performatives, the self-consciousness that arises when in view of a camera, and the creative forces that emerge in the face of uncertainty. The project ultimately addresses the possibilities that abound in the reiteration of events, and their potentiation through difference.
