- Description
- A virtual reanimation of an insect - lying on its back. A miniature »Drama« (2011), an emotional visual metaphor: the individual‘s struggle at the borderline of life and death, with various and chance-generated endings, triggered by the viewers, as they play the interactive film loop again and again. The silent interactive film, approximately twelve seconds long, is closely related to Timo Kahlen’s kinetic sound sculptures »Tanz für zwei Fliegen« (Dance for Two Flies, 2005) and »Tanz für Insekten« (Dance for Insects, 2010): here, several insects - found dead (objets trouvés) - pulse, float and dance on the membranes of loudspeakers, resonating silently.
