Description
3 video cameras, 3 video monitors
“Exhibition Trigon 73 at the Künstlerhaus in Graz between October 6 and November 11 in 1973. This major international exhibition is the first time in Europe that an effort of this type was made from a physical and spatial point of view in order to realize video installations produced simultaneously. In this context Peter Weibel produced two closed-circuit video installations and these two installations targeted conventions in matters of representation and in media, this conditioning of the observer which notably includes constructions of identity in this same context. A system based on three closed-circuit video cameras and 3 screens“.
