Expensive Cinema

The installation “Expensive Cinema” uses the artist’s material to create a theoretical metaphor. The somewhat pitiful nature of the presentation, like an old defective television set, and the quality of the actual video only serve to emphasize the disparity between high-budget films and practically nobudget independent galleries, where the medium of film is treated differently, but rarely in a traditional manner.

Expensive Cinema
I asked my friends to drive me (blindfolded), and a large mirror to the Baltic Sea coast in East Germany. Upon our arrival, my friends placed the mirror in an upright position on the beach facing the sea. I was escorted towards the mirror, where I sat down, removed the blindfold and watched the sea’s reflection in the mirror.
