Alter Bahnhof Video Walk; 2012; Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller
Here
is an attempt to document our 2nd piece made for dOCUMENTA (13).
Viewers are given an ipod and headphones and asked to follow the
prerecorded video through the old train station in Kassel. The
overlapping realities lead to a strange, perceptive confusion in the
viewers brain. Hard to document and harder to explain. We only present
the recorded audio here, but when doing the walk the real sounds mix
with the recorded adding another level of confusion as to what is real
and what is fiction. Wear headphones to get the full effect of the
original binaural recording.
This is a 6 minute clip of a 26 minute piece.
