Double Negative (2006, 5’ 30”, colour, silent)

Double Negative offers a reflexive take on the rather spurious effect of 'video negative'. The piece was made by re-videoing the live output from the camera as it was displayed on a monitor, creating feedback. In using the negative video effect, a flicker of alternating positive and negative imagery is produced and various fluctuating microtonal elements in the picture plane are revealed.
