Simone Hine Once More
Opening: Wednesday 10 August, 6-8pm Dates: 10 – 27 August 2016
‘Once More’ is a provocation regarding the nature of live performance and documentation. Shot using five cameras, this video installation documents a single performance via five individual camera angles, displayed simultaneously. Reminiscent of a 1960s sitcom in both form and content, this work draws on the historical conventions of popular television to examine current debates in performance art.
