Reflective Practice

"One of the most confusing things I've ever seen."
Visitor comment.

Feed back effect between windows

Reflective practice is an installation of 8 old CRT television screens, 8 Vhs players and 8 camcorders. The cameras film reflections of the room and audience members in one or more of the TV screens. Feedback effects are often achieved. The layers of complexity and reflection are increased by playing recordings of the images recorded from a screen on itself.
