Video documentation

---

a man held is a five-channel digital video installation of experimental mobile phone films made in Lisbon and London in 2012. The installation is across two rooms: there are four large projections in the main room, three on a triangular screen and one on the wall; and a monitor work in the adjoining, smaller space. One film in each space has a direct sound track. The sound bleeds across both spaces and is heard, mostly, at a moment of correspondence, different in each track, which connects the films and the filmic spaces of the two rooms. The three films around the floor-to-ceiling triangular screen, that comprise the work Tower, show the near-same scene shot over a number of days.

The electronic document for a man held, with a commissioned text written/read by Roger Cook and further video documentation of the show, is available here.
