Three Figures In A Room

The work features the televised footage of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao’s highly publicized and most lucrative boxing match at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, in May 2015, billed as “The Fight of the Century”. Removing the fight’s original audio.A second video channel shows the sound technicians, the Foley artists, as they distill and recreate these sound effects in their studio using a myriad of props. Mirroring the boxers’ athleticism and focus, the Foley channel plays in sync with the fight channel, each placed on opposing sides in the gallery space.
