Concept:

STAGING

This installation consists of two rectangular solids of the same height, but not the same volume, which are named the issuer and the receiver.
The solid representing the issuer is the thickest (in volume), its proportion and position exerts power over the other (the receiver).
The issuer has five cannon-like tubes pointing at the receiver, which "shoot" images at point-blank over the receiver's body and the visual impression will be like a wall execution.

The cannons will shoot simultaneously, with the real sound of a shooting cannon, in oscilatting time intervals, because the time between one unloading and the next one will never repeat, which will cause the appearance of unforseable images; this is because the events in real life history do not necessarily happen in regular time periods.

The minimum time between each unloading will be 8 seconds, the maximum time will be 30 seconds. All permutations between the minimum and maximum times will determine further oscilating unloading.

The duration of the images on the receiver's body will only be for a few seconds, then it disappears (fade out) into the dark where it first appeared from. The agony will be short, but will repeat over and over.

The vision of this installation seeks the participant to contemplate on it from the side, as a passive character; to develop a system which will guide the individual to natural behaviours. One can always enter the installation, but at their own risk of being striked by the firing line, if one is not alert.

The projections will consist of: pictures, audio, and short videos (maximum of two seconds), etc. They will be selected for their violent content (any kind), because scenes without blood or murder can also be violent. In the beginning, the artist will freel yselectthescenes,whichwillformthefirstgroupofscenes.Multiplesourceswillbeused,includingtelevisedevents,radio,newspapers,etc.par

The media shoots the common people with all kinds of scenes and information from throughout the world. Violent scenes will be collected by the artist and used again, with the same intention of the media, but with differences at a subliminal level

After the installation's inauguration, new violent images will be inserted at times and added to the previous scenes. This will require the artist to "go hunt" for new scenes. The hunting will be for the artist and the participant (who can be an additional hunter in this project), who at the inaguration will be asked to collabarate; through a suggestion box located at the issuer's structure. The information provided by the participant will be edited by the artist and immediately placed in the computer, to be projected quickly thereafter.

Inevitably, popular local and world-wide historical scenes will be included. However, they will not be the central attraction because the scenes are not to be too important, because the principal characters need not be celebrities and the stage places need not be well-known.

Finally, I will design a logo, which will identify the work and will be located on the side of the issuer structure.

The common people do not realize the fire shooting at their faces. The subliminal intention (before mentioning it) is to show this bombardment and merciless cross fire, which we do not take notice of, until by chance, one moment, it rubs on us.
