They are paired off in a systematic rotating video installation, but all the actual fighting from the original films are cut out, leaving only shouting, moaning and strange 'power' sounds. The 4 projections leave a clashing of repetetive noises, which sounds like an obnoxious nagging housewife.From a more instinctual form of physical aggression it becomes an ‘intellectual’ form of aggression, much like the mental warfare of a chess game. The result is just absurd, a feeling like banging your head against the wall over and over again. More info and photos:http://uraniansatellite.blogspot.com/'...
