‘Without
The Word (1)’
Peter Bogers 1994
The work uses four monitors, installed as depicted
alongside. On the monitor-screens we see isolated close-ups of, respectively,
eyes, ears and a mouth. The soundtrack consists of short
fragments from emotional public speeches. The movements of the mouth
are synchronised with these snatches of rhetoric. Whenever speech
is articulated, we see the accompanying movements on all four screens. Throughout these fragments of
speech the division of close-ups sporadically change over the screens
of the four monitors. For instance, the mouth vanishes from monitor
1, and then appears again on monitor 4. At the same time, the eye
disappears from monitor 4, only to pop up again on monitor 3. This
switching of 'parts' takes place on a regular basis. The head
from which the video sequences are made, becomes an object turned
in on itself, a self-observing entity.
