In Kerry Tribe's single-channel video work Double, five women who nominally resemble one another reflect on subjects ranging from their impressions of Los Angeles to the project they are currently working on - apparently the very project in which they appear.  Each of these young women is, in fact, an actor who responded to a casting call for the part of a "video artist" with a physical description of Tribe.  In front of the camera, they improvise monologues based on whatever impressions they were able to glean from a brief, off-camera interview with the artist. The work addresses an issue with which most human beings have grappled at some point: how the world perceives and interprets them, their lives, and their work.
