Breath of Venus ©1999A four channel video installation with seventeen music tracks. Four monitors are stacked sideways on top of each other to form a pillar. The figure of a woman rises swimming starting on the second monitor from the bottom to the top monitor in an endless loop. The bottom monitor displays a digital animation of breathing lungs. This video/sound sculpture is part of a series of artworks (graphics, sculptures and electronic installations) based on videotaped images of an artist who lived with cancer for seven years and died in 1984. It acknowledges the primal attempt of artists throughout history to reconstitute the reality of a person, memory or feeling - in this case through the electronic technologies of sound and light.
