"Winkers" and "RGB", video intallations, 2009
"Winkers" : Divided in four small LED monitors this installation shows flag semaphores playfully animated and inserted with abstract video scenes, numbers and quotations of philosophers and scientists. The same texts are also translated in the symbols of semaphores. Now and then a minimalistic sound accompanies the video scenes.
"RGB": Basic video colors: red, green and blue (RGB) are animated so that they move over four small LED screens in different directions. Positioned in line with the installation „Winkers“ and combined with rulers in a cross form they target to remember basic thoughts and positions in abstract art and experimental film.
