Reciprocal Strategies
The work was founded on the idea of mashing the ping pong of a conversation with the collective assemblage of an exquisite corpse: one artist would make short video quickly, sending it to the other artist. Then the next artist would make another short video quickly in response, sending that to the other artist. The end product is an installation that can be understood as a series of monologues and/or conversations between the videos, some being self-evident, while others relying on the interaction in the space with the other videos and with the viewers inhabiting the projection of other videos in order clearly see one.
Reciprocal Strategies was a collaboration with Cassidy Petrazzi.

Reciprocal Strategies is a collaborative video installation made with Cassidy Petrazzi through an exchange of short moving-image works. One artist made and sent a video; the other responded with another, continuing the exchange without a shared script or predetermined endpoint. Meaning accumulated through response, repetition, interruption, and the distance between one contribution and the next.
In the installation, the videos operate simultaneously across the space. Some remain visually distinct while others intersect; viewers moving through the projections interrupt the images and alter what can be seen. Conversation becomes spatial as well as temporal: each work exists in relation to another without requiring the exchange to resolve into a single voice or meaning.
Collaboration: Cassidy Petrazzi + Nicole Rademacher.
