In Two Minds

‘In Two Minds’ is a two monitor video installation first exhibited in the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1978. This work consisted of myself on one video monitor asking questions of myself on the other monitor. The questions, typically of that time, largely address the nature of the piece itself. At the time of making the piece I had no intention of using it beyond the Serpentine show, the rough and ready state of the black and white tapes attest to this. …

Continuum

Continuum (1977) is the earliest existing video tape that I have made. Produced in collaboration with Gabrielle Bown, it is documentation of a two channel video work, intended to be “performed” using two separate video tape players and video monitors. The two tapes, started roughly in synch with each other were expected to drift out of synchronisation, the two prerecorded sequences progressively diverging, rendering the dialogue increasingly incomprehensible.

Memory 1

Still from Memory 1

The first of the two Memory tapes, ‘Memory 1’ builds actions on a series of instructions, then carries out the instructions in a logical progression added to the previous instruction.
