| Tectonic Industries |
| |
|
tectonic industries is a collaboration between Lars Jerlach (b. 1964, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Helen Stringfellow (b. 1975, Wallsend, UK). The members started collaborating in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1999, and currently live and work in the Twin Cities, USA.

| About the Artist |
The fundamental concerns of tectonic industries relate to the sometimes tenuous relationship between artifice, reality and artificial representations of reality. A specific scenario has a number of factors removed, replaced or distorted to present an environment of calculated heightened artificiality. Iconic motifs are chosen to stand in for, and represent, the myriad of diverse meanings and interpretations of a given situation. The reality-substitution is instantaneously recognised as containing the essence of that which it replaces. The iconic images are perceived as "more real" than the reality which they have come to represent. |

If you wait long enough...
2006 Mixed media Approx 220 x 190cm |
|
"If you wait long enough, something always happens."
Five particpants were invited to collectively view the film "Five Easy Pieces". They were each asked to individually recount as much as they could remember of the film, later that day, to a video camera. The narratives of all five participants play in the exhibition space at one time, on five monitors placed opposite the sofa. The placement of the monitor reflects where each participant sat to be filmed. The viewer must sit in the sofa in the place of the participant to discern that individual's narrative, in the cacophony of voices. |
The longer I sit...

Eight participants have been filmed cooking in real-time to the instruction provided by an episode of 30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray. |

And then I woke up...
2005 Double video projection Dimensions variable |
|
"And then I woke up and it was all a dream" is a site-specific installation consisting of a large-scale, double video projection exploring the epic themes of love, romance, jealousy, despair, drama and tragedy.

My wife is so proud of me...
2002- 2005 Mixed media Dimensions variable |
|
"My wife is so proud of me..." is a project initiated in the summer of 2002. tectonic industries measured the grounds of the house in Wisconsin in which they were living and produced an aerial plan depicting the placement of the house, trees, pathways etc. A grid system was drawn up, dividing the property into 130 squares, each measuring 10 x 10 feet. From September 4th to October 14th, 2002, each square was systematically searched using a metal detector. When a metal item was located, a numbered flag was placed into the ground, and a photograph taken using a Polaroid camera. The item was then dug up and sealed into a plastic bag, with the date, time and position of the find recorded.
In total, 519 items were found including a multitude of screws, nails, pieces of aluminium foil and bottle tops.
The installation consists of a vinly wall diagram detailing where each item was found within the aerial plan of the property, 519 Polaroid images detailing the numbered flags of each find, and a 55 minute video showing a photograph of each object found, in chronological order. |
