SLIDE INSTALLATION
240 slides, 135 film, loop
concept by Nike
Arnold
This work
focuses on the subjective question of: „What is safety?“ and on
being thrown
back to ones own actions and borders as an artist.
The unplanned, arbitrary, threatening
interferes into the
previously outlined setting of the work and forces the outside to
become
a pure projection: the house, in which one is situated in
this moment, must not be left
anymore due to political riots.
As material for the work emerges a correspondence between
the both artists, descriptions
of everyday life, interviews with
the attendants in the house, photographies of the interior
and
what gets trough from outside via newspapers and television.
The
installation puts together text passages, quotations, images and
subjective perceptions
of the situation in an random order.
