Borrowed Time | a video collaboration with Tim Etchells | 2013

In this video exchange, two artists - one very well-known, the other less so - enter a game of virtual dialogue across a generation. In two 12 minute videos, the artists are recorded looking straight to camera whilst, via overlaid audio recordings, they each describe what they imagine the other might be thinking.

Borrowed Time creates a charged and playful circling of questions related to ambition, legacy, support and affinity.

Borrowed Time is based on the structure of Tim Etchells' 2001 video work Down Time and was commissioned in 2013 by the Live Art Development Agency.
