Duet with virtual twin

Dear Carola,

Your video inspires me. Coming from the self chosen solitude of the vast landscape of the Corbières of France, I watch your performance. Contemplatively attuned, I experience the two voices, gestures and actions of the identical singers as a magical event with a strangely poetic intensity. The garden as a stage set enriches the enraptured atmosphere of the congenially transformed poem. Symbolizing the strange change, the scene of the event is transformed into an ideal place for your metamorphic art.

In the presence of homely vintage garden furniture, which obviously does its job as „objets trouvés“, you unfold the grace of a high priestess without a religious mission. The silvery shimmering leaves of the arbor-like trees and bushes indicate a waving breath that does not stop at the wind permeable enclosure of the garden. Some lovingly arranged potted plants signal a kind of domesticated nature along the way, which suggests the proximity of enclosed spaces and thus awakens the expectation of an approaching consumption of coffee and cake, as the crowning glory of Sunday idyll. However, this turns out to be deceptive.

Rather, the setting of the ongoing scenario testifies to an acausal storyline that is characterized by the magic of mystery and seems to evoke the image of an in-between world. Your action in front of a fictitious audience in three dimensional space takes place in a linear chronological sequence. However, the detailed structured conception of the performance on set unfolds its pictorial impact as a result of the subsequent cut-up process, which enables the simultaneity of formerly successive sequences of action. In the pictorial being, this reality mutates into a meticulously collaged grotesque. The multimedia composition condenses into that bizarre game that leads to a fascination of the unfathomable.
