In which we replace ourselves in order to introduce a particular outsiders' perspective on the covid lockdown situation and work/life balance.

About the DIPTYCHS Series:
As a communications platform, ZOOM exposes a paradox. It claims to connect us when it often intensifies a sense of isolation. This contradiction is brought into focus by veteran performance artists, Johanna Householder and Judith Price, who enter the paradox to make a suite of “Episodes” using ZOOM to record their improvisatory investigations. Shot over several months during the pandemic lockdowns of 2020-2022, DIPTYCHS: 43° N, 79° W / 48° N, 123° W (the latitude and longitude of Toronto, ON and Victoria, BC respectively) is "an attempt to restore embodiment and peripheral vision to a world condensed into a 2880 x 1800 slab of metals and electrons."
According to the artists, who both come from conceptual, feminist, dance and performance art practices, “The crude imprecision of the technologies through which we now communicate flattens geographies and obliterates time zones.” The DIPTYCHS Episodes carry on a conversation about visualizations criss-crossing time and geography; chronicling life in an extended interior space.
