Horror Chase

Horror Chase is a video installation with sound in which custom software creates variable playback of a chase scene which the artists shot as a reenactment of a climatic chase from the iconic horror movie, “Evil Dead 2” by Sam Raimi. The software is enclosed in a black metal suitcase which is displayed beside a cinematic scale projection.

The artists re-enact the scene on a specially designed stage set. Each shot in the sequence is individually digitized. Custom computer software selects these clips at random, playing them back in a seamless but continuously variable way, changing the speed and direction of play. The images are projected at cinematic scale and the computer hardware is installed in a black briefcase, which forms part of the installation.
