SCRATCH OF LOVE AND LOSS
2008
Videoinstallation
If life is seen as drama that can be viewed from outside, the grand outbursts of emotion achieve a certain status of climax in the circle of drama. A person may find satisfaction and fullfilment in the feeling of grief and detachement brought up by the ending of a relationship. The drama of loss is contrasted into the Hollywood-like sense of definity and illusion of reformation. Love or hate or compassion are roadwork-like structural fractures that disappear as the new more “intact” identity takes over in the society of simulation.
