Artwork Description |‘For the original event in London in 1972, Iinvited fifteen photographers and<br />
filmmakers to meet at aprepared space in order to record their own presence.<br />
To each Iexplained that ‘the subjects of the event and your camera are the<br />
other photographers and filmmakers.’<br />
Afterwards, the filmmakers contributed their footage, and the photographers<br />
sent me their prints and slides. Iintended to edit the material into afilm, and to<br />
construct some kind of final installation that would evoke the original prepared<br />
space of mirrors, lights and newspapers; but as things turned out, my work<br />
changed direction and the footage and the ideas remained in storage. lt was<br />
almost forty years before this second stage was fully realized.<br />
The installation that now represents the final form ofthe work was completed<br />
early in2011. lt is worth noting, perhaps, that in 1972 the figures, armed with<br />
cameras and continuously producing still and moving images of one another,<br />
seemed like akind of hallucination. Today this looks almost routine.’ (Anthony<br />
McCall, New York, 2012)<br />
