Jeremy Shaw Phase Shifting Index 2020 Filmstill
Summary
Phase Shifting Index , a seven channel video installation extends throughout the building of the Kunstverein. It depicts seven autonomous groups engaged in embodied, movement-based belief systems that aspire to induce parallel realities. Employing various outmoded 20th-century media, ranging from 16mm film to Hi-8 video tape, Shaw presents what appears to be documentary footage as the distant future, creating cognitive dissonance within the viewers’ relation to a sense of place and time.
