Trace/Cut/Paint

Single-channel video with sound (from performance with video projection for the camera), 2011

Trace/Cut/Paint is a trilogy of three performances for the camera. Each one is performed in response to a pre-recorded video of a similar act where my hand makes a line, a cut, and a print of my other hand. I essentially collaborate with a data body version of myself using traditional tools to mark where the physical body once was in space and time. The project is inspired by the Peter Campus work, “Three Transitions” from 1973
