Stains Animation Video Installation, 8½ minutes looped, sound, 2002 |
Body fluids, secretions , mucous, ooze, bubble and stain living tissue. These morph into humans that act ambiguously toward each other: loving, hating, killing each other. Finally the mass of bones that remain form a pair of bloody hands that seem to almost come together but instead a bomb pops out from between the palms and explodes. The death ooze bubbles out and is evacuated. |
A single cell animation constructed with accretions and erasures marking the trajectory of life and death pulling in the vagaries of the human psyche. A huge latex breast filled with milk hangs pendulously in the middle
of a room. The milk receives the projection. The viewer steps upto the
rim to look inside. |
Made at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Artist- residency-Program.
