Style Period:Contemporary Art
Subject:Film, Cinema, Lawrence Kasdan, Body Heat, Kiss
Technique:video, editing, assemblage
Description:
The McCoys recreate a scene based on the famous kiss between William Hurt and Kathleen Turner in Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat (1981).

Re-staged and re-shot, the McCoys prolong the kiss into what seems an eternity. The red suitcse contains a specially designed computer that randomly replays and repeats the sequence, backwards and forwards, stretching out time using slow motion. In this way the sequence will never be viewed in the same way.
