Elena Cologni invites visitors to engage with her through a one-to-one installation in which they actively participate in the construction of the work’s meaning, generating a collection of video portraits. This is a two way corridor structure for a one-to-one mediatised performative installation designed as a site specific by making sense of the history of the place and people it is presented to. The work’s meaning is constructed together with the audience’s participation in it. With the use of archival footage and video delays, it tries to capture people’s moment of self-awareness in the present, here constructed as layers of representation of time.
'When we think of the present as what ought to be, it is no longer, and when we think of it as existing, it is already past...all perception is already memory' (Henry Bergson, Matièr et mémoire, 166-167)
The project starting from Glasgow international 08, will include three main periods of interaction and after the audiences at CCA, Cologni will meet visitors of institutions in Cambridge and York. This is funded by Glasgow international, York Saint John University, and includes material form the Scottish Screen Archive
