About the work
Something oily, the smell of sweat, thighs stick together. The seams of earth between the heated asphalt slabs. Each screen seems to capture a moment of afterglow; a slow cooling down.
Infrared sounds warm, reminiscent of an incubator lamp. Although in this case the warmest spots on the images are those that tend to lose all color. Like the snow on the roof of a heated but badly isolated house. The camera has to constantly adjust itself, to measure the surfaces again and again. Everything, also that which seems lifeless, is constantly pulsating and pumping.
The image has to push itself through a fine-meshed net. Particles separate themselves and find each other again on the other side, on another surface. (S. says that the bodies on the images look like power plants, inside of which warmth is produced that radiates to the outside.)
Transformation is supposed to occur inside the object. Where is the inside? Does one encounter it in the matter, while it is worked, moved, pushed against its grain – while something is done to it? The order of things. A possible sequence: word, thing, materiality… appearance.
