Overloadlady 1999
35 min
Memories of the pass overtakes the present, mining the fleeting now into an endless growing void of emotions and relations, an abysm of different types of absence. The memories of those who watch us from behind the pictures, and those observing in front of the pictures, looking into that void, apart. The missing and longing is expressed by a staging of imprisonment provoked by the unbrigeable separation of time and space. A performance of contemplation, and of emotions erupting from loneliness and rootlessness.
