The basic idea of my work is to depict the ways in which a reflection on a television screen and the continuously broadcasted television program interact. We see two different storylines, which together create a new montage. Another important aspect of video montage is elapsed time, since the video scene of the reflection is slow and “real” (for example, the wind blows the curtain), while I chose scenes from the television programs that are particularly fast paced or involve rapid cuts (for example, Formula 1 coverage). The video is projected onto the folding screen from two directions. On one side, the reflection on the screen of the television, which has been switched off, can be seen; on the other side, the television program can be watched against the same reflection. This projected surface is totally different from conventional television-watching. Thus, the familiar scene is made completely new.
