Contingentcy of Art-

The expose of sensibility

What was glimpsed on the 21St?

   

 

     The violent annihilation of a human figure by the opposing natural forces of fire and water is projected simultaneously on the front and back of a double-sided screen. One one side, a man approaches from a long distance in slow motion. He finally stops and stands still. A small flame appears at his feet and quickly spreads to consume his entire body. At the same time on the other side, the man approaches, stops, and a trickle of water begins pouring down on his head from above. It soon becomes a raging torrent that completely inundates his body. When all finally subsides, he has completely disappeared — small flickering flames on a burnt floor and a few lingering drops of water falling from above are all that remain.
