Accordion
2:30 minutes, 2000
   

 

Using an accordion inherited from her family as a prop, Monique Moumblow, with the help of Yudi Sewraj, also enacts a scene of absurdity in their work Accordion (2000). …The two artists double the number of musicians necessary for the performance, but in this case the multiplication is literal rather than the result of technological manipulation. Their cooperation, artificial yet evocative, forces Moumblow and Sewraj into a synchronized action to play Little Annie Roonie, a tune from the 19th century, in unison on a single instrument. (Sylvie Gilbert "Video Heroes", Liane and Danny Taran Gallery, Montreal)
