| synopsis pulsating rotating light forms (video feedback) become surreal a bosom for the personified Oleander. The metaphor for femininity is set in relationship to the Oleander. As dualism and the interactive projection of their desires they move into circulation, the meaning of which is left to be decoded. Coincidental "Oleander" is a shrub with fragrant blooms and a toxic milky sap and stands for "you breathe life into my bosom" in the "language of flowers" (Beg. 19th Cent.) (Translation: Bob Hewis) |
inhalt Surreal werden pulsierende kreisende Lichtformen (Video Feedback) zum Busen für den personifizierten Oleander. Die Metapher des Weiblichen tritt mit Oleander in Beziehung. Als Dualität und gegenseitige Projektion ihrer Sehnsüchte bewegen sie sich in einem Kreislauf, dessen Bedeutung zu entschlüsseln bleibt. Zufällig ist „Oleander“ ein Strauch mit wohlduftenden Blüten und giftigem Milchsaft und steht in der „Sprache der Blumen“ (Beg. 19. Jh.) für „Du hauchst Leben in meinen Busen“. |
