Some notes concerning ‘Exotic Exercise’: · The work makes use of the
(uncontrollable) need of any viewer to link image and sound, to look for
meaning and to create connexions. · The credibility of the used
image- and sound combinations fluctuates continuously. · The viewer is being seduced to
look for (or create) short moments in which image and sound melt together.
Poetical moments that are then being disturbed and interrupted because the
means that evoke this poetry are so
visible and perceptual. · Internet and satellite as
consequence of a global world, constantly moving and inevitably without
absolute truth. All views are disputable, changeable en can be influenced.
The global world that gives us the ability to take distance and through that
offers opportunities to develop a new portrayal of man and new poetry. · Incomprehensibility
and enchantment go hand in hand.
· The work operates on the edge
of fiction and reality. This also applies to the images of the mouth that
accurately follows the songs or the
spoken word. These images can be considered as the ultimate identification,
comparable with children copying there idols in front of the mirror. In case
of ‘Exotic Exercise’, the identification is directed to the gathered
source-material: The beautiful and sometimes obscure exotic sounds and images
that enter our homes through internet and satellite. |
