The works of art of this video-art project are
registered moments of a dialogue between Lioba
Steinkamp and Robert-Jan Verhagen & Theun
Karelse, Jennifer Tee, Mascha
de Vries, Alberto de Michele & Guevara
Solimen and Gijs Müller.
Would it be possible to quit
your daily life for a while and live the life
of a fictive person?
Lioba Steinkamp asked the participants to execute five alter-egos
she created, circumscribed by five video-screenplays. The screenplays
use key scenes from renowned movies that, in the process of mixing
and re-editing, establish five new contexts: a description of
the character and the implied atmosphere of the setting. The selected
artists answer the question of the screenplay by means of a video
work. The performances took place at locations
in Brazil, Italy, The
Netherlands, USA and Japan.
Robin Brouwer reflects the progress
of this experiment by interviewing the participants before and
after their journey. |
