Re-made View-master wheels with downsized images printed on plastic, cut and glued to fit the view master reel.
The View-master reel consists of 7 duplicated images placed in a circle. Through its inherent form it therefore projects some kind of narrative, a loop of 7 images presented one after another much like a GIF. The duplicated frames enable a parallel view on a course of eventsor a sequence and is here used as an analogue method for evaluating and presenting artistic work. Photographical documentation of performed work and experimentation is reviewed and selected, after which it is scaled down to fit the frames of the View-master wheel, then printed on plastic and cut and glued to the wheel.
Applying the View-master format when evaluating experiments in artistic research provides a change of perspective since the process assumes the acts of collecting, seeing, selecting, positioning and scaling. The View-master allows an intimate yet distant view. We are close and at the same time cut off from what we see. These parallel views enable distance between the practitioner and her work which becomes necessary when going from the performing body of the work to the evaluating and analyzing one.
