SYNOPSIS
Wishing Well as well as Night Spring, is video installations that show images of the human body's exterior and interior. They are beaming with variety of pains and pleasures and walk the line between the real and the imaginary. Beneath what appear to be natural processes and coloured reflections, a gradual transformation slowly plays out and puts the elements and body in a relation of new reciprocity by using various editing techniques. Two semi-abstract palpitating heart muscles are synchronised with the rhythm of dripping water. A pile of rocks and dirt morphs into an open mouth. Corrosion and the mounting power of images seduce with their rhythm and sensuality, triggering erotic associations.
