video, 2:35 min
Two girls are looking into the camera. Their appearance is shy, enticing and curious at the same time. The dark, slow and dreamy atmosphere floats around them signifying the end of their childhood. The fragile moment is disturbed by an unknown watcher, a shady figure with blinking eyes. The demanding and defining world is piercing into the girls´ relationship.
Blink wraps together different meanings and narratives of our world. The video consists of rapid moments of suspicion and a feelings of alienation. A monotonic and dragging sound, like a broken music box, detaches the story from time and place. A magical and surrealistic ambience is unleashed.
