THE HEADLONG DIVE
Videoinstallation, projection screen 456 x 500 cm, movie 0:18 min.
Vienna, 2013
Jump to the water seen as a quick change of the environments – from the air into the surroundings where the human being is not able to breathe.. Jumping and being in the state of absolute loosing control..
I would like to bring closer the moment of the headlong dive to the viewers and put them into the illusion of the underwater situation. For that I created the projection screen out of the plastic foil, installed in the room in the way that the viewers are forced to be very close to the screen and kind of paralyzed between the screen and the wall while watching the movie.
