Hochwasser / High water, 2003

Installation view / 1-channel video projection, stereo, 15'08'' (loop)

The video shows flowing water (The Rhine in high water, in 1999) with text ribbons (in German). Its editing and the fact that it is continually repeated suggest a continuous curculation in which a strange object disappears and reemerges.

In contrast, verbal associations run across the lower edge of the screen. They refer to the element of water as a highly symbolic primary substance. The verbal images complement and deepen the viewer's gaze as they now and then create a friction between imagination and visual perception. A process of reflection and conception begins.
