I saw a video piece by Zorka Wollny, called ‘Flee the Frame’ in which multiple screens showed the results of separate camcorder footage of a game piece in a railway station. Each of the participants had to attempt to catch the other members on video, without getting caught themselves. It was really mesmerising and light-hearted, and I liked the way the rules of the game gradually became apparent if you gave the piece enough time. I am interested in the formal gallery presentation of an intervention activity (which was also a carefully designed performance-to-camera). It was lively and inventive, and might influence my approach to using video and multiple subjects, particularly because it was another method of negotiating architectural space.
