Tiivistelmä
This paper is written as a personal reflection on the process of working with Xenos, a
multichannel installation artwork. Xenos opened in Europe in May 2014 as a part of
an art exhibition at the Museum Bärengasse in Zurich, Switzerland, and was directed
by Jyoti Mistry, a South African scholar, artist and filmmaker. The paper discusses the process of working with the installation with the assumption that all art processes con-stitute an embodied knowing of art (Johnson, Mark 2010). As such, this paper draws on the descriptions and discussions of Hatfield (2006) and Oosterhout et al (2012), which function as inspirations to this research. The paper describes the personal process of the cinematographer from conception to the final work of art. The text is anchored in per-sonal notes and a concept paper shared between the cinematographer and the director (artist).
