Trampoline- Performance by Frank Abbott:
Frank's live performance used video projection and sound to reflect a memory. The audience was essential to his work as a spectator of this memory and to witness his past movements (for example- mowing the lawn)- Frank would use the projector as a vehicle to shown his past movements of mowing the lawn, each time projecting an image on to the wall or floor.
Through the action of moving the projector and sharing his memories of everyday usually banal tasks, he recreates these tasks with visual, sound and movement. He invites the spectator to remember his memories with him and from this performance; to create their own private personal memories and nostalgia to take away after the performance has ended.
