Radfahrer (Hase und Igel), 2000

On three adjacent projection areas, the work presents an eight-second sequence from a cycling race in a velodrome. The two cyclists are wearing the same strip and riding the same bike. The viewer’s confusion is increased by the fact that the video is shown at different speeds on each of the projection surfaces. This creates the impression that the cyclist on the right-hand image is about to overtake himself on the left. The work plays with our perception of the limits set by the picture frame. –Daniel Schreiber
