This work is made from a series of 8 frames of a woman moving towards the cameraman.
The title relates to the showing of a motion picture some time after it's initial run. It could also refer to the way in which memory can be "replayed" over and over in the mind and revisited, drawing comparisons between film and mental processes. "Rerun"also highlights the used/preowned nature of the source material, and the way in which the repetition within this work creates movement as you look from panel to panel. As you stand and look at this work there is the potential to keep looking almost creating a loop in the mind of the viewer, engaging the viewer with the work in a new, physical way. Perhaps the images also "rerun" in the mind of the viewer after they have engaged with this work, allowing these once hidden images to be placed back into circulation. There is also something "Warholian" about the repetition of a portrait image, as with Threshold, this mundane image takes on an iconic quality and focusses the work as a process of reiteration/restating like a mantra that gathers mistakes and inaccuracies.
