"Pluck", 2000. Slide dissolve projection on suspended screen of feathers, 230 x 345 x 1 cm. 5min. loop
The work reflects the artist's ongoing interest in Mallarme, in this instance the mechanical act of chance as a trapeze act is re-choreographed by slide projectors. Executing a twirl mid-air, the trapeze artist’s routine is sliced into stills and projected as a dissolve sequence onto a suspended screen of black feathers. Rupturing the integrity of the projected image a surface emerges whose plastic hybridity is in constant metamorphosis.
