Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / exhibition installation
German term or phrase: Videorauminstallation
A stand-alone term referring to an exhibition at a Heimatmuseum. The installation has past and present films from the area playing on adjacent screens.
An English-speaking architect involved in the project couldn't think of a suitable term either, but said the spatial element has to be stressed, i.e. this is more than just your normal "Videoinstallation".

Readership: international (primarily potential clients for the team involved)
TIA!

Installation of a video room/ inst. of a v. space
Explanation:
I sense a translating snare even given the background info. (for which ta, Francis). Possibly the (architectural) achievement/job (verbal-noun sense: installing something: a video room) rather than a Rauminstallation (or Installation), the art genre, in this case consisting of video monitors. THEN AGAIN.... my 2nd variant invites at least an overlap into the 'installation-art' sense - and leaves open to what ext't the 'space' is in its own room.

cinemagraphic space installation


Explanation:
Space installation seems to be the art/art history equivalent for Rauminstallation.
Cinemagraphic seems to match your dueling film description better than video.

Sorry, Francis, I keep visualizing the dueling ducks from 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' in your description...

How can it be "not just" a video installation. A video installation is a video installation is a videoinstallation.....
