Linking 2003
From
it’s origin ‘Linking’ consists of a small table, three lcd-videoscreens
and a headphone. One
screen is standing on the table,
two others are built into the front of the tabletop. One can sit down and put on a headphone. The sound is split in two
separate channels. On the right side we hear Koran-texts being spoken
in Arabic. At exactly the same time the English translation is played
on the left side. The Arabic and English texts are time-stretched
in a way that they exactly match concerning the parts where text is being spoken
and concerning the breathing intervals. The
two LCD screens built into the
table-top show images of a left and a right hand, making slow mirrored
movements each time a text fragment is performed. After
2007 the work has also been presented as
a double projection or on two separate LCD-screens. In this case the text is included inside the
images of the hands. |
