Engravings of Violence - condensed
2023 – 03:15 min, FullHD video
The video – or glass – can be understood as a symbol of the fragility of democracy and security. In acts of aggression, protests, attacks, and wars, glass panes are usually the first to break. For the video, safety glass was attacked with cobblestones. The violence becomes inscribed, vaguely reminding us of trajectories and collisions of elementary particles.
Showing the video on a monitor creates the impression as if the real monitor screen is being attacked.
In contrast to the installation “Engravings of Violence” (8:40 min, 2022), several image layers are superimposed here.
