Justice 'Randy' by Thomas Jumin

Luke Bather - 13th Oct 2016

Thomas Jumin provides this incredible piece of installation art as a companion to Justice's 'Randy'.

Shot in Paris last month, the installation sees 25 old television sets stacked in a uniform square in a dark room. Looking like an imposing, alien monolith, the structure begins beaming out some very kitsch VHS lettering but before this delves too quickly into lyric video territory, we're treated to some gorgeous imagery, some effortlessly synchronised displays of text and image.

THOMAS JUMIN:

"The idea for this screen installation came from an inclination for an aesthetic in live show lighting that is both powerful and minimalistic. The object itself, the CRT Trinitron by SONY, is iconic for people of a certain generation for its design and for its specific rendering of the image.

"The idea was to build an installation made of 25 screens from 1987 and to use them with video controllers and analogue converters. We simply filmed it like one would film an art installation, so as to retain the object’s authority and repetitive simplicity."
