This world is so full of wonderful things. What makes people suddenly go berserk and hate everything anyway? I mean why does there have to be an underground? "Kanzleramt / Sleeper House" Video, 10 min, 2008 Die Künstlerinnen sieht man in ihrem Video auf zwei
Seiten: Außer- und innerhalb des Bundeskanzleramtes in Berlin. Sie fungieren zum einen als Rebellen jenseits des Zauns: Pirschend, schleichend,
sich versteckend. Zum anderen sieht man sie im Haus: Sie sprechen dort
über wundervolle Kunstwerke, über die rätselhaften Rebellen
und geben vor, auf Sinnsuche zu sein. Das Video spielt mit verschiedenen Rollen der Künstler und den Video, 10 min, 2008 In their video, the artists can be seen on two sides: out- and inside the Federal Chancellery in Berlin. They act in both ways: as rebels beyond the fence, stalking, sneaking, hiding, and as persons being inside the house where they talk about wonderful pieces of art, enigmatic rebels and pretend to be in search of meaning. The video presents various roles of the artists and the functionalization of art: as a gesture of resistance and as an established, representative form. The film incorporates fragments of text from the movie Sleeper by Woody Allen: Here the special architecture of the so-called Sleeper House serves as a backdrop: This futuristic building in the movie is used as one of the centers of power by the people of the future: Here resides the ruling class and enjoys an adjusted life without problems thanks to the steering by a great leader. They pay homage to all that is beautiful. Round the Sleeper House the rebels are hiding in the woods. |
