Description:
Two figures are shown on the moving picture projected into the exhibition space by a projector, both of them sitting in identical arm-chairs in a neutral environment. The two figures sit opposite the viewer. Guided by the sensors positioned in the exhibition hall, the two figures on the moving picture change places. This changing of places happens not only by the end of the movement process, but also in every separate frame. The identity of the people therefore change in every frame. The sensors always show one single period, meaning the movement of person A to the place of person B, and vice versa. Four video files are shown from a computer, guided by the sensors. The first one shows person A on the right and person B on the left sitting comfortably in their arm-chairs, looking straight into the camera. The second shows person B on the right-hand side and person A on the left, comfortably sitting in their respective arm-chairs and looking straight into the camera. (...) (Zs.K.)
