Video Stills


Sorry everyone! I was super confused about what we were meant to post and only just was made clear this morning. I made this video and it was at our open studios if you all recall, the hands slapping another pair of hands very hard over and over while the second pair never moved nor flinched from its steady position. The sound was delayed a half beat after the action. I was thinking of Jacquie's writing about finding an object in her room that reminded her of her friend and brought on strong memories long after the fact. The idea behind the hands slapping is you know whats coming but you can't pull away, it starts by gently being held by a pair of hands and violently being slapped in the end. The delayed sound was done following the idea that often times the actulization of an event or action does not happen until after the fact, much like the feelings elicited in Jacquie after the actual event.

Here are some video stills of that video. Just to clarify, I was given Keith's written description which was a description of Jacquie's writing.
