This is a piece done by Harun Farocki called “Workers Leaving the Factory in 11 Decades”. The video installation consists of a row of 12 monitors, each showing different scenes of factory workers outside of the factories themselves. While the theme of the piece is very different from my project, this was a good example of the use of multiple monitors in a video installation. In Farocki’s installation, half of the films are silent, but the other half can be listened to through headphones. I also enjoyed how the scenes differed in length and ran out of sync with each other, but still created a powerful effect overall. Even though my installation will likely be just 2 monitors side by side, I hope to extend many similar ideas from the installation of 12 monitors.
