How does the use of multi-screen installation in her work reflect narrative?
Answer:
In the work of Samuel Taylor Wood, multi-screen is used to create the the depth of feeling and emotion in the subject, allowing the viewer to experience the movement, and subtle changes that life and death endures.
What is living is never a constant as what lives will always eventually die. The raw emotion is demonstrated through film displayed on a screen, while equally being enforced by still works.
The story, or present narrative is told by exposing the raw emotion and vulnerability of the subject; leaving the viewer to create their own narrative, taking from it what they will, whether it be on a purely superficial level, leaving it on just its face value, or interpreting and reflecting their own experiences and lifestyle.
The multiscreen allows the story to be told in an all consuming, all encompassing environment, giving the viewer time to enter the world crafted before them, and feel the depth of emotion felt. An example of one of these multi-screened narratives is found in her film “Third Party”, documenting the seemingly chaotic and subtle actions of a host of characters whose begin to intersect at a party.

Eija utilizes the display of multiple screens and vantage points to focus on the construction of her feminist narratives on traumatic experiences, through the use of image, language and space.
Doug’s work almost entirely encompasses the use of interior and exterior spaces to their full advantage, in brining out a full sense of emotion through the heavy use of coordinated visuals splashed along all flat surfaces, and original music conducted by friends and associates.
Question 5:
Show an example of a specific gallery space or a site specific location where a video artist or film maker has created work specifically for that space and been influenced by it.
Answer:
A good, clear example that would link to Samuel Taylor Wood’s interior film displays, would be the piece entitled “Rising” by Isabelle Hayeur. It shows a film that has been designed to appear like a continuous expansion of the hallway from which it is been placed, at the Denver International Airport.
