Abstract
This thesis is an attempt to observe the media of video and photography and the “space” between them. Many artists have operated within this “space”. The reasons behind this are the abilities of these media to be flexible and to transform, and with that, to give the artist, or the user, the wide pallet of possible interpretations by juxtaposing their characteristics. These two media are both widely used by inter-media artists and for communication purposes, mainly on social-media. Technically, they both operate similarly: both depict what is in front of the camera. However, because of the previously mentioned transformative character, video is capable of obtaining some of the characteristics of photography – and vice-versa – only by working with them in a specific manner. Through this thesis, I will attempt to show how the abilities of these media were put together in numerous authentic ways, blurring the lines between their separate fields.
