Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien, Berlin 2008
When
I was 14 years old I was involved in a confirmation group. Confirmation
was something that most people did where I grew up. One day we discussed
good and evil. Our confirmation leaders had rented the movie "The Silence
of the Lambs." When I think back now, I can’t remember the movie
so well. But I remember a scene and I remember how I thought with horror
"is it that how I can become out of my desire to be a girl?"
In the exhibition Rotes Haus there was a hole smashed into the wall. If
you were about to put your head into the hole, you would see a copy from
the room from the scene in "The Silence of the Lambs" built in
a dollhouse size. In the space between the walls in the middle of the dollhouse
room there was a video sequence of me where I danced as the serial killer
Buffalo Bill is doing in the scene. The way, in which it was built, the
room and the video sequence looked completely three-dimensional.
After about a half-minute, you became heavily blinded by a flash. Afterwards
you had a still picture of me on your retina that stayed with you in about
10 minutes. The picture didn’t go away even when you closed your eyes. |
