Time and Time Again

Time and Time Again is a 5 channel video installation, filmed in Iceland and Ireland between 2004 and 2005. In addition to themes of Romanticism and the Body in Space, this work plays with our expectation of medium through these video-paintings.

At times the figure observes the landscape in an isolated manner, but there is also a constant motion and interaction with the landscape; a rhythm of repetition reducing the action to little more than a gesture. Each time there is no trace left and the action starts again at the same point in time, therefore eliminating any sense of, or emphasis on, any real time. Yes, the viewer is aware that the action was once an event at a specific place in a real time, but this documented real event is now essentially frozen in time just as though it were a single frame still image.


The videos are not projected, but instead appear as tangeable objects. In addition to this, the restricted colour palette and the cyclical (or lack of) narrative places the reading of these video works closer to that of a more traditional medium, such as painting.
