Among El-Sayegh's paintings, Alice Walter's video works can be seen projected onto translucent fabric screens. These pieces, created by manipulating the recording process of VHS cameras, share their collage-based methodology and layered composition with El-Sayegh's paintings. Walter intervenes in the electromagnetic transfer between capture and playback, disrupting the electronics of the camera, incorporating multiple light sources, lenses, colour gels, internal TV text/science manuals, and her own body into dispersed visual fields in order to destabilise attention, shifting between focus and dissolution. Selecting VHS, a defunct format, and intentionally further degrading the images produced, Walter share in El-Sayegh's interest in the mutability of images as they are repeatedly reproduced and distorted, forming a wider investigation between the two artists of breakdown-of material, of the image, and of wider symbolic systems.
