Eileen Cowin | "Telephone",
2002
Media: 4 20" monitors. 4 DVD players, 4 stands
Dimensions: variable
In Telephone , four televisions are on stands in a semi circle. On each
monitor a person is listening and responding to a situation on the telephone.
The "script" is the same for all four people and the videos
play simultaneously. The audio is very minimal, the story is told through
the gestures, facial expressions and tone of voice. In a public setting
the viewer is involved in a private moment.
