Geschwister

There’s an internal cleavage that you can’t solder  nor outflank. Neither you can hide it completely,  especially to yourself.

The video work Geschwister* (2009) is an intimate take on bonds and separation. Loving someone may sometimes create a perpetual wound, which may heal but cannot be outflanked or hidden. Rather, it allows generative leaks. The footage combines fragmented reflection of body parts, urban night scenery, and watery reflections. The audio is composed with recordings made in a metal tank immersed in water.
