Philippe Parreno & Rirkrit Tiravanija

Cinémascope
1995

This installation was created in collaboration for the Bienal of Johannesburg (exhibition: "Volatile Colonies", organized by Kendell Geers, 1995).
1) A soccer game: "resident artists"versus "invited artists". The players wear T-shirts designed for this event, printed with current front page newspaper layouts. A poster gives notice of the demonstration. The two artists play in the game, while the camera is entrusted to a young neophyte, who films the game.
2) The two artists constantly film throughout their trip in the city and region.
3) Since the museum technicians create their own tools, they themselves build the projection screen made of curved wood and a wooden table on which is placed objects as well as video tapes. The videos are projected onto the curved screen painted in white.
