Striptease (1997)
Video, 10’38”, B&W, sound.
The images were made without a pre-established script, to the sounds of daily life and a spoken poem. The artist’s introspective method was based on meditation, collective memory, and subjectivity. The video focuses on the topic of undressing, baring oneself, stripping the skin from the body and reaching inside, into one’s own physical and emotional universe. A poetic striptease.
