Zerfressen

Zerfressen is the German term to say “corrosion” or “to corrode”. The title of this 3-channel video-installation refers to the metaphor of an eroded landscape, playing with micro and macro views of Coal and the area from where it is exploited. An intimate performance video register of my finger interfering Coal briquettes (first channel), along with a satellite photography of Germany panned across the surface of the Coal (second channel). In the third video channel, this satellite image is mixed with a slides collage of a piece of Coal taken with an extended bellow.

These video channels are meant to be projected in the wall (first channel) and the floor (second and third channel), inviting the spectator to have an spatial illusion within the loop narration.

Exhibited in Die Feinfühligezone, Die Ecke Gallery. Santiago, Chile. 2009
