Multi Multi

2018 | 4-Channel Video | 1hr Loop  


Multi Multi is a 1 hour self-perpetuating performance with 16 performers. The performance is written as a score, each person is given a phrase / instruction, they do not know what anyone else’s instruction is so each performer performs a part without understanding the whole. It serves as an isolated multitude that recreates care, antagonism, support, action, synchrony, exhaustion, friction, mimicry, observation and joy.

This Unfolded View shows all synchronised cameras in the space. The two screens on the left show one side of the room. The two screens on the right show the other side of the room.

The multi screen set up shows the performance in real time, as the performers run from one side of the space to another they cross from one screen to another. The recording and the installation were both created inside Marwan where the space is compacted onto the screen and the viewer can see themselves standing where the performers were. The viewer becomes into the narrative as they walk round the space seeing the action unfold.
