This is a Diptych, 2023

5-part Multichannel Video Installation

3 minutes 45 seconds

​

This is a Diptych is a visual essay exploring the ways in which things are polarised or divided into twos, socially, historically and politically and how this gesture has been instrumentalized in order to contruct certain ways of thinking.

​

The installation consists of five projections in conversation with one another and an audio reciting a compilation of notes taken on the subject of dichotomies. Using five screens to represent dichotomies or binaries speaks to the complexity of these “pairs.” A contemporary diptych has more than two sides- referencing Harman's third table and the possibility of the existence of things beyond human perception.
