Can't Buy Me LunchThis two channel video installation concerns itself with the nature of perception and memory, in a deceptively simple and light hearted manner. The content is derived from thirty seconds of documentary footage on the life of Slovakian supermodel Adriana Sklenarikova.
The raw footage, from a series of re-creations of the scene in question, is presented in two variations. One of the videos presents a carefully manipulated set of images using the familiar film-making device of a "real-time" interaction between between two characters. The other is a more concrete but equally unreal picture - two actors captured, simultaneously, in the interstice between themselves and the characters they are portraying.
Seamus' output, in general, demonstrates a preoccupation with imposing formal structures, derived from the study of chaos in the natural sciences, on narrative works involving video, sound and performance. More info here
