                                                                            Video Installation X-it 2004
            Form
The work X-it (2004) is an installation piece, consisting of 2 video projections. There is no audio with the projections.the work is a record of material excreted during Salmonella Poisoning.The work moves towards creating an internal recognition space as viewers are presented with the inner content of a sick corporeal body, sensing their own internal existence. Given the content some viewers may find the work uncomfortable.


           Process
The work was created from images taken during a period in Hospital, when at one point the body organs began to shut down. My thanks to the medics for their support and response to my request for records
. Two identical videos were played side by side in ArtSway, recordings are played out of sync creating  changing sets of visual tensions and rhythms, referencing the internal workings of a struggling living corporeal body.

           Context
The work was a development out of the collection of material from my own body, paralleling and referencing medical interventions to my body  which in turn opened an increasing awareness of life/death of inside /outside and of our human/posthuman existence. The installation gave access to a sense of inner structure, space and activity in life.
