The paucity of multi-image research may be a function of a lack of a unifying theory of multi-image (Burke, 1991 a). In two recent articles, Burke (1991a, 1991b) has provided a new theoretical framework for the study of multi-image that is consistent with classical film theory. His theory accommodates the differing spatial emphasis of painting, photography,
cinema, video, and multi-image. With theory in place, perhaps elaborating research will follow.
