a first name, a date ... like an ordinary mortal ...
A large, mysterious image arises from a small medium format negative film and a simple piece of grey, creased plastic. It is comparable to life, where a formless foetus grows into a human, both complex and imperfect but also fascinating.
Through scratching and burning the negative film and covering it again for the creation of a new image, it is distanced from the original likeness and its conception in order to find the past once again….
Scratching and burning reveal how life chokes us, painting and covering reveals how life equips us, transforms us, spurs our development….
We are the puppets – everyone and no one simultaneously. Anonymous people or ancestors with blurred faces or faces that have simply been forgotten over time. The outstretched hand symbolizes the hand of continuity, the hand of our ancestors that brings us to our senses and teaches us these words and this suffering that is our companion…
The ghostly leg is theirs and ours, it helps us to overcome our present challenges and is strengthened by past experiences…The lines and scratches represent the veins where ancient blood flowed, that will be carried into the future through triumphs and failures.
