Manufractura
(1997)
Nine-channel video installation
monitor sizes from 5" to 50"
9 x DVD PAL 4:3, stereo, varying lengths of endless loops; VHS Master
The video installation Manufractura consists of nine separate video loops. Each of which is created by manipulating the source video - the same short video sequence of a hand slapping a pane of glass - into nine different speeds.
The resulting nine video loops create a symphony of sound which continuously changes and shifts from subtle, quiet phrases to cacophonic intensity and back. Different length of each video sequnec/loop mean that the relationship to each other is constantly changing and the 'composition' is changing over time.
