SHAMAN TRAVEL, 2002
The work consists of excerpts from scientific ethnographic films from the 1950s and 1960s
documenting the activities of shamans during divinations, sacrificial ceremonies and trance rituals
are projected as double projection.
Each of the two halves of the double projection shows an excerpt from the same film lasting for
about one minute. Subtle time shifts were worked into the film material that circumvent the didactic
logic and narration of the original educational film.
The video can be shown as such but is also part of the installation Expedition-Bus and Shaman-
Travel, 2002.
