Deuce, 2005, digital video projection loop plus stereo sound

Deuce presents a game of tennis filmed at night, superimposed with a choreographed re-enactment shot during the day. The outcome of each play remains the same between the original game and its re-enactment, underscoring the duplication as a redundant act. However, imperfection inevitably creeps in, even after the best efforts at playing the same game twice. Through simulation, Deuce attempts this delicate balance between futility and unique chance.
