Both my linear and my interactive video work are engaged with particular social/political contexts and their representations, striving--largely through digital manipulation--to reconcile two simultaneous, even conflicting, urges: to document the stories of people and places, and to express my own version of such encounters. Negotiating the sometimes intense opposition between these two truths ~ bringing to the fore the multiplicity and transience of point-of-view(s) -- is a primary aim and an underlying formal as well as ethical concern in my video projects (whether interactive, installation or single channel) which thus straddle the fields of video art and experimental documentary.

    2006 Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal
    Even, Tirtza (2009-05-04T21:28:36Z)
    Once A Wall, or Ripple Remains is the last fold in an on-going documentary project spanning more than seven years to date as well as a wide range of media (from single channel video, CD-ROM, website, to written text, 3-D animation, and interactive installation). The various media reflect and undermine each other's reports, detecting gaps, contradiction and bias in the perception and mediation of the primary experiences or encounters that set the trail of records in motion. Together they form a shifting history not only of the experiences themselves, but of each moment's viewing and of its articulation: a manifold document that questions the stability of any perception, record, or rendering of such encounters.

    Counterface, an interactive video installation, is one component within a larger two-fold work-in-progress that also comprises Painted Devil, a linear, single channel video. Both pieces focus on women's different roles in contemporary Turkish society, with all the nuances and conflicts that have developed among the secular and non-secular, rural and urban, modern and traditional.

    Slip, an interactive video installation: Documentation
    Even, Tirtza (2006-06-30T19:56:07Z)
    Slip, an interactive video installation made in collaboration with Sha Xin Wei, was shot at Peachtree Pine Homeless Shelter in Atlanta, Georgia. Individual studies of homeless people, even with the best intentions, all too often flatten their subjects into iconic figures of misfortune and pathology, ignoring, or damping, for strategic reasons, the social context in which they are defined and confined. By taking portraiture to its logical conclusion, we highlight the problems of the form.
