Hollow Void - Fictional time laps experiments 2005

Dual channel video projection,
4,5 minutes loop, DVD

The video filmed at Berlin Zoologischer Garten railway station¨and the zoo across the road in west Berlin. The two locations are
sampled together creating a new space , where animals, tourist and commuters are co-existing together.

The video came by sampling images from the tube and the zoo of Berlin. Rare figures of careless humans and animals passes
through claustrophobics rooms and corridors. The noises on the background contribute to strengthen the feeling of confusion,
improved by the loop that take away them thickness as though they live behind an opaque glass.
Hollow void shows a co penetration of time-space dimensions. To the cultural space overlap the animal space, but both are ambiguous,
faded. The borders are nullify in a virtual and dream dimension characterized from the dilation of time and space. In the video the
space is manipulated as the time, not only sampling shooting made in two different locations, but also projecting the video in a dual
channel mode transforming the image, apparently unique, in two ones scrolling in synchronous, obtain an unnatural horizontal scenic.
