John Massey, As the Hammer Strikes [A Partial Illustration], 1982 3-channel installation 3 DVDs [transferred from 16 mm film] 1x colour and 2x black-and-white sound, 30ins
Massey recreates a recorded conversation with a hitchhiker to whom Massey offered a ride too. The installation's central projection, filmed in faded colour from a stationary position in the back of a van. The two flanking projections, in contrast, show six to ten images a minute that illustrate possible associations of the two participants with what is being said.
