Lampalzer/Oppermann: SPLIT SCREEN PROBE
SPLIT SCREEN PROBE
Lampalzer/Oppermann
The double projection Split Screen consists of a hat-game, running simultaneously with
three nutshells, where a pea is hidden under one of the shells, and a 3-D projection with anaglyphs (red/green) shows a woman
cracking nuts and a man spooning pea soup.
The installation Split Screen Probe breaks
this work down into its individual components, based on the raw material of practicing a fixed pattern of moving three nuts.
To enable this to recur on film, a formulistic sequence is required to always guarantee the same path for the nut with the
pea. Despite all fragmentations, simplifications and slowdowns – asynchrony creeps in, causing confusion in the final cross-cutting.
The algorithm yields to imprecision, with surprising results.

are often biographical, experienced or seen shapes, or in the form of finds in science, culture, the media. Their focus lies
