Ands, Buts & Interruptions | 2003 Next Work >>
A single channel video projection with 24 Prints (each 27 cm X 20 cm) from moments of interruption.

A mapping of the transitional moments within a conversation between two people. The video suspends brief instances of communication / miscommunication between the two individuals where a paradoxical event can be understood as unfolding; a simultaneous occurence of predictability and uncertainty.

The simple act of a dialogue becomes a site of complex interaction at play between the two signals [the communicators] and the ambiguous [unknown] zone of noise space [zone of transition]. The suspension of these moments examines not the symptom [the spoken words] of the dialogue but instead depicts the events between or juxtaposed. The mapping and slowing down of such fluid events into still instants adresses the moments where a shifting of understanding is at play - the spaces where novelty and predictability intermingle and are emergent within a noisy field.
