Multiplying images

It started with a series of voyages.  To the Arctic.  To the outer Hebrides.  To a cow farm in Bedfordshire.  Up the M11 motorway.  Through a factory.  Into a kitchen for a cup of tea.  Then it was split into two images:  a split screen; a man split between a bear and a man; a bear split between a man and a bear.  It’s the Skin You’re Living In.   A split screen film about separation and connectedness.  And then it multiplied, up to 7 images:  an installation; 7 mobile phones showing seven fragments of the film, in sync.  It’s the Skin You’re Living In.  And now it’s being split again; it’s being multiplied again.  We’re working on a multi-user app version of It’s the Skin You’re Living In.  A group of people, 2, 5, 7, 15, 20, any number, play the film across the screens of their phones, each phone a fragment, split from and connected to the others.It started with a series of voyages, then it was split into 2, then 7 and now any number.  Connectedness and separateness; here and there; now and then.
