Ti-Cheri is one of my first projects that combined analogue mediums with digital techniques as well as interactive presentations.

When I was a kid my Oma, and other relatives would constantly end sentences addressed to me with the words “Ti-Cheri” which means
Here is a clip and stills from original “the serpent” video. It is the only surviving clip I have and I have also lost the original sound which was on created on reel to reel tape.
Spring 1994.
The video was created using only the analogue tools of the time, without any effects or processors as I did not have access to these tools.
The method here, is to repeatedly recaputure select video clips played on large Sony Trinitron monitors, (the museum brick ones) and using the frame by frame playback on the Hi8 playdeck to slow down the video. (this is what produces the larger line rolling down as the frame rate of the camera is different from that of the playback.) The black lines are the TV sets fields which become accentuated from being repeatedly enlarged as I zoom in with the camera. The coloration is done by altering the monitors color settings every time I reshot the monitors so as to further add coloration to the original black and white images, while altering the colors of any color video.
