Mass, 1998

Video

Fade-overs of found-footage sequences of mass assemblies and political demonstrations from the 1920’s thicken into a grey surface. Scarcely has the viewer’s gaze landed on a detail when the layers pile up over one another again. The video is based on scenes from Panzerkreuzer Potemkin (USSR, 1925), among others.
