TV Fighter Cam Era Plane

TV Fighter CAMERAPLANE 1977 plays with the experiences of realtime and the video copy presenting in several iterations a fragment of World War II footage taken from the point of view of a fighter plane as it machineguns targets on land and sea Using a Russiandoll structure of images repeatedly rerecorded and reframed Hall toys with the viewers manifold experiences of live and recorded time the historical time of archival footage the live experience of watching it on a screen the déjà vu of watching that live footage again on another monitor This nesting of recorded images within other recorded images implies an emergent sensibility in which the present moment is continually being recorded and reframed by audiovisual apparatus but crucially Halls approach to this phenomenon is as playful as it is provocative artforum
