Constructing Narratives Framed by the Stadium

The aim of this research is to create new non-linear narratives that reflect our contemporary position in history by re-structuring existing narratives generated from within the stadium, a space marked by an often-contradictory duality. Artworks that use a process of accumulation of archival material are investigated, as is the influence of the accessible, if unreliable, archive of the Internet. When constructing new narratives from existing material simultaneity—through montage—can open up gaps for alternative readings. I explore two forms of montage: “horizontal” moving-image montage created using downloaded video; and “coexistence” achieved through a sequence of posters.
