Was ist mit deinem Haar

Drei Videoliegen von unterschiedlichen Höhen sind vom Publikum beleg-beliegbar. Dies schafft eine intime, face to face, Rezeptonsituation. Einmal sich bequem hingelegt, sind Gesichter zu sehen, schlafende, singende, sinnierende, drehende Gesichter, hunderte von Menschen. Es interessiert mich eine spezielle Situation zu schaffen um Video zu betrachten. Ich wähle bewusst eine unübliche Rezeptionsituation um die ZuschauerInnen die Zweisamkeit zwischen Videobild und ihnen sinnlich erfahrbar, bewusst zu machen – als Gegenüber.
