This is a live video essay in two voices, School of the Image: Constellations explores how images generate meaning through the dynamic relations they establish with one another. Drawing on Walter Benjamin’s notion of the constellation, the artist duo inhabits a field/counter-field structure — observing, contradicting, and completing each other — to trace how images think, remember, and connect across time, space and contexts.
