RESOLUTION/DISSOLUTION II

HAPPENINGText: Yoshito Maeoka


Tatjana Marusic, The Memory of a Landscape, 2004

Tatjana Marusic projected a line of footage from her homeland, former Yugoslavia. This footage is modified by compression technique, and as a result, new dream-like scenery is produced.


Kirsten Johannsen, Aeonion Concert, 2000

In contrary to the former, Kirsten Johannsen used equipment as itself, in this case compact TVs as an element of work. White noise is displayed on the screen, and it seems as if this gesture carries a meaning beyond the visible fact.


Matias Faldbakken

Lastly, the work, that has left the strongest impression on me, is a projection on wall that catches your eye right at the entrance. This motion picture by Matias Faldbakken is taken with a camera on the front of motorcycle while zooming 200 to 300 km per hour along the expressway. The motorcycle body is almost always at an angle, while it weaves its way through trucks and cars. It offers extraordinary and exciting experience as though in the movie “The Matrix Re-loaded”.

Not mentioned above, Jens Brand and Astrid Nippoldt are also contributing artists to the exhibition. For your information, the third exhibition in this series will run from June 22nd until August 27th.
