Megan and Murray McMillan

For our upcoming show, we knew we wanted to create a 2D wall-collage that documents the process of making the videos, to accompany the videos themselves. What we realized we wanted was a living document that functions like the project categories on this blog: a loose narrative of the “making of” these two pieces with photos, experimentation, and commentary.

We thought about taking the presentation in a more sculptural direction, but quickly realized that the sculptural-ness of the work could outstrip the organic conceptual map that we’re trying to evoke. In reality, we want to disconnect the process from a linear timeline, and reconnect it into a didactic schematic of two people struggling to come together in collaboration.

Since we document everything, we’ve got plenty of material — photos, writing, sketches — to cover a 25′ stretch of wall. What is left to do is create the narrative that links everything together, which we’re thinking will end up looking something like a brainstorming flowchart.
