Breath and the Heart, Thinking, 1997

single channel video, audio, 2 light projections

In this  work I have taken the image I have been working with for some time, the heart and lungs, and the image of the brain which I introduced into my work last year. These images are projected as clear light, the immaterial. I have used video, also light, and made a tape of technological images of the body alternated with images of suffering – a premature baby, the test explosion of the first nuclear bomb, a tidal wave, aerial bombing and the consequent firestorm, Auschwitz, Tiennamen Square. The audiotrack is a series of wishes for you, myself and others.
