“Record-Installations” —
Video Documention of
Contemporary Art
Installation, Media and Performance Art calls for special means of documentation that effectively
capture the complex and often site-specific, variable and interactive nature of these contemporary
artworks. Video documentation is a highly effective and fully informative method that offers many
advantages over traditional still photography and textual description.
“Record-Installations” specializes in high-quality and comprehensive video
documentation that is customized to capture the full experience of an artwork: its overall
impression, its relation to the surrounding space and architecture, its physical construction, the
visual characteristics and relation of its components, time-specific features such as movement and
choreography of kinetic or performative works, sound, light, or its interactivity with the
audience.
