Additive Human Color Pyramid

(after La Pyramide Humaine / Jean Rouch)

2008-9
3-channel color video projection, silent, 88 min. + 1 channel b&w video with sound on monitor, 12 min.

Feature-length docufiction split into three component RGB channels, re-projected as individual layers and moving in and out of sync and registration; accompanied with looped unedited screen-capture video translating and transcribing the opening minutes of the film.

The three silent individual red, green and blue channels are projected large and run on a separate loop than the b&w video with sound, which is shown on a vertical flat-screen monitor adjacent to but positioned away from the projection.
