Quote:
Rita Mc Bride
„For me begged the question
of grandness and hierarchy
very well. Great material
and well installed with the fan
as a truly funny element
which had an advertisement
style effect.
It was the only work
in the exhibition which really
talked in an ironic and simple
way about absurdity in these
spaces, a kind of
set design”

Video projection
Pongée is out of smooth raw silk produced in Japan.
The color-matching fabrics, whose actual dimension can only be estimated, are the basic reference of this light projection. The homogeneous recurrent motion of an indeterminate rhythm generates a great variety of abstract shapes. Overlapping of the material and endless combinations of fluent movements signify repetition and unique modulation at the very moment.
To underline the apparent authenticity of this process the video projection is beamed frameless all over the wall. At this point the wall surface itself with its concrete texture dismaterializes, almost vanishes, taking on a new sensuous quality.
