SHELTERS

Christine Alicino and Ursula Brookbank are US-based visual artists interested in collaborative practice. This is the second of two Long Minute pieces from the duo.

In the artist’s words: “Many moons ago, before Instagram, Christine Alicino and Ursula Brookbank were transmitting single images from our distant cities without looking at the images of the other. We named our practice (IS) Instereo, a signal from two different channels mixed together. Our collaboration, billowed into numerous annual happenings and occurrences of multi layered projections of figures, objects, fragments and flickers. We have always worked independently as well as together with the available environment, sound and material; brown paper, cloth, castoffs, and ourselves. This 52 second fragment is from a set of twelve sequences exploring our hermit behavior simultaneously captured during the pandemic. We have also inhabited the character traits of trolls, microbes, bricklayers and tinkers.”
