Continental Divide

Continental Divide

2010, Austria, HD-video, colour, sound, 10 min.

Here, Draschan follows a new aesthetic principle compared to his previous work: the video is much slower, the cut as accelerating too! for the condensation of visual information gives way to a sensual construction: not entire images or series of images, but only fragments change the frames successively. Only few image components move, standstill and transformation go hand in hand. Butterflies and elephants cross the image, the colour of the sky changes from grey to blue to a threatening pink.
