Four Screen Installation

A four projection, full colour, stereoscopic, dance-screen installation, shot on location at the New Art Gallery Walsall, Aggiss is plagued and plagiarised by invasive strangers who are hell bent on picking on her and making her ordinary extra-ordinary. Doppelgänger is composted from over sixteen thousand still photographs, painstakingly assembled into four projections, then sliced and diced and (unlike Humpty) put back together again. Accompanied by hypersound, these multiple projections, aurally and visually jostle competitively for attention as they endlessly loop.

A Capture4 co-commission

Capture (2001-2008) was an Arts Council England fund managed by PORTLAND GREENTM from 2004 until 2008. It commissioned original art works that challenged the concept of screen-based dance by exploring new relationships between dance and film, video, new media and installation. Applications were encouraged from both established and emerging artists practising in the fields of dance, film, video, new media, installation and other disciplines.
