ABSENCE

by Christoph GIRARDET
2002 / Betacam SP / b&w / sound / 1S / 8' 30

In slow dissolves, loops of images of enacted absence are projected in white light. Most of the images come from the black-and-white film series "The Invisible Man", dating from the 1930s to '60s. The presence of an invisible actor seems to influence minimal cinematic events on theatrical sets. These events combine to become an enigma regarding the phenomenon of disappearance.
