4ch- video “B.O.D.Y. – piece of glass “ (2012-2013)

 

I began work on this short video by recording the meanings of such seemingly neutral places such as a railway station then creating a montage of the pictures. Thus I was able to symbolize the overlapping images of the system of the architectures and and body parts circulation in the rhythm of everyday life. Goals and events are an important component of life, giving it richness and meaning.

The sound B.O.D.Y.-„Piece of glass“ (2012) by Niklas Schmincke and Erika Matsunami is a tonal composition that uses the sounds created by bits of broken glass. The part is the whole.
