The speaker, with the voice of an audio-guide- like those you hear on gallery visits or professional salons- describes in detail the places we can't see, giving us over to the potential image while leaving it fragmented and incomplete. The video tape that is played at the same time is inspired by a cutting procedure in which a film sequence is cut, then enlarged before being re-filmed by a camera. This narrative sequence, as informative as it is, gives the experience of spilling its contents, in which the intrigue is fragmented. through the repetition and recombining of certain scenes, the possibility of inter- textual liaisons is given.
Mareike Bernien lives and works in Hamburg and Berlin.
