Description
of the installation
(there is also a 3 min. presentation tape)
In
a dark room the spectator can see a lighted table with a toy top upon
it. When he goes towards it he is silhouetted on the screen opposite
and then duplicated by a multiple feedback effect. As soon as he turns
the top his silhouette on the screen is replaced with a picture of the
revolving top filmed from above and surrounded by eight pictures of
forward moving crowds. The human masses and the top move at the same
speed and undergo the same speed changes. As soon as the top tips over,
the people go their own ways again and the previously separate visual
fields melt together. Each time another revolving sound collage accompanies
the pictures (random generator) and fades out towards the end. When
the top stands still the picture is once again replaced by the spectator's
silhouette. He can now be the creator of his own world. Each time another
world will be generated depending on how the top is turned...
