Telepathy Experiment I

4-channel video installation, 32 min. loop, 2007

The installation documents a 30-minute experiment in telepathy between two friends who have known each other all their lives: the filmmaker Isabell Spengler and the choreographer Antonia Baehr.

Placed in two separate, isolated rooms, the test subjects use words, gestures, and drawings to send and receive thoughts from and to one another. Four simultaneously recorded channels of video showing the two test persons and their drawings are projected on a split screen.
