Description
"The video work was created as a closed-circuit activity in the studio.
The work shows a section of the actor's belly button, on which lies a five-pointed star made of Plexiglas. The movements of the abdominal wall caused by inhaling and exhaling are transferred to the star. Light reflections dance up and down in it. A kitschy southern soul melody and breathing noises accompany the aesthetically pleasing recordings.
The work has also been performed as a live closed circuit performance."
