adaption / disorder
2016, video on control screen, text animation projected on wall

In making reference to the fragmentary, reduced style and unconventional montage of the film "Red Desert" (by Michelangelo Antonioni), the video installation adaption / disorder develops a distinct narrative form.
A narrow control screen chronicles selected images from the film: all we see are rooms. Uninhabited and devoid of context, they become enchanted, mysterious places. Here, the symbloic color scheme of the original film is negated by the use of black and white; the actual storyline is no longer comprehensible.
The proportional sizes of the film image and the subtitles are reversed: the main character´s lines are projected in oversized dimensions, as deconstructed sentences. The nonexistent cinematic narration makes a synthesized atmosphere of confusion and crisis, an inner monologue which may be experienced and illustrated subjectively.
