. . I am
attracted to what is fleeting, what can't be captured, what is past before
it is even recognized. The viewer is placed into an intimate environment
- what does she/he take with her/him? Coming
from movement, stillness frightens me, but can be useful in contemplating
or considering the fear of stillness, to create a moment out of which
new movement can be born. I project my videos into landscapes, architecture,
water, a ceiling, a window, snow. Or, free after Lengyel: It wasn't about the perfection of the harmony, but about the inner movement in view of the infinity outside of time. The intuitive realization of the fleeting of all reality led to look for that which was seemingly irreal. Scherrer and Katherine Libe
