Every Shot, Every Episode

In this project, the artists created a database of narrative fragments.

The source material for this work is a collection of 10,000 shots from Starsky & Hutch. Each episode is broken down into a series of individual shots. The artists have assigned key words to each shot: every plaid, every sexy outfit, every yellow Volkswagen, etc. There are 278 categories in total. Each category is archived on an individual video CD which is labelled in clear, bold lettering and installed in the gallery on a shelf. In the original piece, video CDs were chosen by the gallery visitor and played via the built-in video screen.
