Where to with the camera? Video, 12 Min., color, 1994
"Wait
a moment, wait, wait a moment, wait a moment!" Just the ridiculous ori¬ginal
sound of fear, which doesn´t show itself. The embarassment of real panic.
It looks enacted, set up, cause it lacks a dramaturgy, cause it involves no
music, which could introduce a certain kind of suspense, cause it lacks the
time, the be¬fore and afterwards. The quiet before the storm is a fiction,
a constructed reality.
If you travel to a country being at war—there is nothing special to
see, except a few camouflage shirts. You´re going south and don´t
even notice, when or where Croatia begins. No empty shops, no people in despair,
no emotional clichés. The banal video images don´t say anything,
Hamburg is different from Rijeka just in terms of weather conditions. How
can you have the images tell something, without forcing them to speak as TV
does?
