REQUIEM
2017
Full HD video | 16:9 | 3.40 min. | b/w | sound


Mozart's unfinished Requiem in D minor accompanies a hike through an idyllic mountain landscape. The visual language is reminiscent of early romantic paintings. The luggage includes a blank surface - a rectangle. An ecstatic gesture interrupts the wanderer's progression. The perfection of the geometric form meets the rough surface of nature. The pitiful soundtrack to the hike is reaching its peak when the Requiem culminates in an unexpected performance.
