THAT. THERE. THEN.

Six channel video installation, 2012

05:14 min.

Large-scale projection on a wall, projection on a wall that is built especially for the piece and leans against the gallery wall, four monitors on black stands arranged in a semi circle in the middle of the room.

For this video I cast four actors to play my family members, the way they were in 1990. The acting family is participating in a staged trivia show competing with my real family in today’s time. The trivia show is based on an iconic Soviet television show called What? Where? When? In the original game a panel of 6 experts brainstorm in order to attempt to answer questions sent in by viewers. 

The narrative is filmed to be shown on 6 channels: one channel shows the edited TV show, another channel shows the real family waiting for the answer and 4 monitors show the points of view of the game participants.
