“This complex work focuses first of all on the staging of a temporally extended performance involving eight people, who form four sibling pairs (brothers/sisters). It also involves the real-time projection of video recordings of their interaction. The second phase is a resulting, highly complex installation formed by video projections, lambda prints on aluminum, drawings and sculptures. All this strives to record, as well as visually and plastically shape, the primal life energy, the exciting emotional tensions and symbolic suggestions that acquire individual existential values – both intersubjective and collective – stemming not just from the performers’ actions, but also from the public’s reactions.”
