3 channel video installation
HD, 1 min loop
Welten der Welt concept is based on diverse texts by the writer Fanny Sorgo.
In this video installation, the focus was out on the so-called “disruptive character” inherent in the situation described by the author above mentioned: the apparent enclosed paradox within both beauty in ugliness and ugliness in beauty.
(...) It is too strenuous to turn away from corpses, from the corpse that you carry from birth. Yet, it is so relieving to be able to look into dead eyes, for life carries death itself. We, living creatures, are all dead and if so, then what? With no reconciliation oneself is shred. It’s as simple as that: Notice the beauty in the ugliest incident, the ugliness in the most beautiful event and say hello.
In Vogelmenschen, the focus is set on the infinite possibility of transformation and reinvention. By using the morph technique on fusible materials such as modeling clay and wax, as well as the endless loop in which the videos are played backwards and forwards; past, future and present merge into a chance of time-free transformation.
