{"uid":"9lgZbJAlKiKV2P1p","type":"artist","tags":["video"],"group":"no","group_name":null,"project_title":"Man dwells on this Earth","summary":"This project consists of two distinct videos. The first video documents a phenomenon I witnessed in the micro-world of insects: a bee devouring a dragonfly\u2019s interior. Observing this transaction, I was aware of a sense of dread. Working with this emotion, I deconstructed the video into small molecules. I edited the material simply, by using still images in a chronological order: between the still image sequences is 'a pause' with a color sequence. The color sequence is different in each pause, and changes to correspond with the color palette of the still image. This emphasizes the activity of the eye as something beyond that of the organ of sight.\nThe second video has a similar visual concept as the first, using sequences of colors combined with narration. The video is a story of violence, and how violence and manipulative forces are camouflaged. The construction is built on the fragments from the story How I became one of Invisible by David Rattray, a guide on how to go to the desert and achieve enlightenment. The story is interlaced with a short news item from the BBC about the rescue of a rat stuck in a manhole. The images are not clear--they are mainly close shots of nature--and again, the rhythm of colors appearing at regular intervals is maintained, with the images overlapping in a strange spasm.  I don\u2019t propose to achieve catharsis through art (Brecht\u2019s theater), but rather, to stimulate the audience into wakefulness, to provoke and to take action (Artaud's theatre).","space":"I imagine two projection on two distinct pieces of massive theater fabrics (stage netting \/ holographic fabric \/ transparent projection net \/ front and rear projection transparent fabric), orientated towards each other with \u201cfaces\u201d. The fabrics are massive, overwhelming with the surface, covering the vision from bottom to top. The projection are in a short distance to each other,  the viewer  have no comfort to see the entire video image. The room where the production are presented is dark.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"werabet01","video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/428537178","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Wera","surname":"Bet","email":"werabet.dustymailbox@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"CIB099948","address":"Reuterstrasse 91","city":"Berlin","nacionality":"Polish","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1987-08-26T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1987-08-26T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"004915221409931","web":"https:\/\/docdro.id\/TODzIez"}
