Art of Projection - Stan Douglas and Christopher Eamon

I love the mechanism of the loop. Each time the round of any number of minutes is over, I tell myself: 'one more time.' And it is invariably during one of those repetitions that I become sensitized, because of the repeated seeing, to the theatricality of what happens on the screen in relation of the narrative setting... Might they have an intrinsic relationship to each other? And is that the message of film installation?" -Mieke Bal, Setting the Stage: The subject Mise en scene, essay.
