Description |
In September 2001, the artist Graham Gussin undertook a journey to a place called Askja, in what is known as the 'lunar desert' of Iceland. As Gussin was travelling through this remote and featureless but strangely beautiful landscape, a remote viewer- an individual with paranormal abilities who has been trained to see over great distances- was asked to track his movements and pinpoint his location. A filmic record of these simultaneous events formed the basis of a two screen video installation, commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and first staged at Ikon Gallery in Birmingham in April 2002. This publication provides a further document of the project. |
