shoot and brush from Ann Schomburg on Vimeo.
video installation, 2 channel, various sizes, 2010
There
is no escape of anyone’s loop, the so called routine. The break out
is only temporary, everything moves too fast to rest and honestly
reflect on the personal living structures. Underestimation of the
private life causes trouble, as the unconscious brings up suppressed
things here and than.
One
channel shows an empty shooting with a toy pistol in the direction
of the viewer, the other shows the try of teeth cleaning with
toothpaste and campaign. The 2 video images are facing each other.
Two loops free from any obvious sense. The same background, the same
person but no correspondence between the images.
Feminism
as a reaction of sexism. Reaction instead of progression is the best
to expect and still every culture or even subculture is establishing
their own idols, defining the “how to be”. How to escape
unhealthy routines,behavior especially when you got raised in an
unhealthy structure, educated to act in a specific role.
In
these days, everything is more and more individualized. Everybody is
celebrating her own importance. The world around is received as a
place of reference for the own ego. The installation puts the
viewer's ego in confrontation with a super ego, being totally lost in
a loop of nonsense.
