DIALOGE I-IV
IMAGES
2008/09
3 channel Video Installation 1024 x 768
Projection on 3 screens, computer generated, variable length, multichannel sound
Dialoge I-IV shows the communication between two people. The project focuses on creating a sketch of the intense exchange between two individuals by using the gaze as the main form of communication. The gaze plays a major role as an universal language. The piece renounces verbal communication and introduces gestures instead.
In aesthetic terms the image transcends the borders between photography and film. Initially it appears to be a photograph but upon closer observation the picture starts to move and initiates the dialog. Two people are sitting face to face and communicate with gestures that are used in daily life but could easily evade our perception.
