The installation "Arsenals" consists of a video projection and a line of black water pipes. The video is showing a portrait of the artist, who is blowing clouds of smoke into the camera in an endless series. The video images, playing in slow motion, are accompanied by extracts of movie soundtrack compositions that strung together.
The pieces of music originate from a selection of catchy movie scenes: catastrophes, climaxes, showdowns, moments of tension/suspense.
The repetition of the minimal body movement in combination with the loaded musical composition produces a minimal but at the same time strongly stylized, exorbitant image, that is referring to popular cinematic strategies and effects. The staged climax is replaced and covered by a smoke screen, which is transforming the physical activity into a pathetic buzzword.
A line of black sprayed water pipes is placed in front of the video. As abstract objects, their former function becomes indistinct, within the installation they are referring to an arsenal of weapons.
