John Wood and Paul Harrison have been working collaboratively in video since 1993. Their work is an on-going collection of experiments, a kind of reference catalogue of diagrams researching human size, scale and movements in relation to the immediate surrounding space and architecture. They combine elements of performance and sculpture and exploit the dynamic, often comic, possibilities to be generated from a set of precisely articulated events and actions. "Since
they began collaborating in 1993, John Wood and Paul Harrison have created
a series of playful and beguiling video works which are distinguished
as much by their droll sense of humor as their unerring economy of execution.
Played out against a minimalist, monochrome backdrop, or within the
sealed off space of the monitor itself, each of the works involves the
presence of one or both of the artists, either as the butt of an extended
site-gag or as the trigger for a spiraling, visually-surprising conceit." |
