"Terry Flaxton's shrewd and paradoxical installation "In Other People's Skins" contributes to the deconstruction of traditional video. The restless and versatile British filmmaker refuses usual interactivity, and displays, instead of a normal screen, a laid dinner table; then invites the viewer, through a very precise projection, to try to match the virtual guests' gestures. An unforeseeable and bewildering end follows." Techne Catalogue, Milan

"It was great to see your piece as it is supposed to be seen. Interactivity in the best sense: perhaps the only meaningful sense at this point in history." A fellow artist on seeing In Other People's Skins for the first time

I'm beginning to rethink what moving image art might be as seperate from 'the grand gesture' which requires the structure of art as it is experienced in a commodified state via galleries and museums and though I've been making 'small gifts for friends' for some time, here's one to depict this kind of small gift.

On a recent walk: "We found a pool in a forest clearing (it was a freezing rainy day) everyone had walked on and just as I was about to shoot the rain creating ripples in the water, some dogs turned up and this is how it came out: the child calling, the dogs ignoring the cold water and their joy at playing free. And no, I didn't do anything to the dogs eyes and no there was no light on the camera to create the intense light in their eyes. It took some restraint to keep the frame centred in the hope the dogs would stay in frame which comes from the intuition/experience gained over the years.
