Jennifer & Kevin McCoy
(USA, 1968/1967)
Jennifer and Kevin McCoy’s multimedia artworks examine the genres and conventions of filmmaking, memory and language. They are known for constructing subjective databases of existing material and making fragmentary miniature film sets with lights, video cameras and moving sculptural elements to create live cinematic events. Recently they have begun to include autobiographical references in their projects.
