Murmurmurmurmurmur (Venezia/Accademia Remix), 2003

DVD installation, variable dimensions

In this video installation, 19 people attempt to follow the same dance sequence. Each does so in a different way. At the same time, a German language course is playing on cassette tape. The videos were taken at various locations in Berlin, where Heman Chong has a fellowship at the time. With this work, he is most interested by how information, knowledge and abilities are transported across space, time and media.
