Entlastungen Pipilottis Fehler

Entlastungen Pipilottis Fehler

The stop-start kind of imagery taken at such a close-up that it’s impossible to tell what’s going on and what the images actually are in combination with the scales in the background give an interesting effect. The held note in combination with the freeze-frame was also interesting, and was a good leadup to the shocking images and creepy voice on the black screen. I do wish I could understand what she was saying, but I don’t think it’s really necessary to get the full effect of the video. The emotions the girl shows and the way the video warps her face is very strange, but it gives an interesting effect; the rainbow-greenish static crossing the screen in front of the falling girls seems like it has some connection to the voice and music; the timing is very similar. The striped shirts of the mimes also seem like they have some connection with the static. This sort of experimental video isn’t anything I’ve ever seen before, and I still think it’s a very strange concept. Her juxtaposition of unreal and graphic images with the realistic ones are very reminiscent of the sound of the piece; the voice and the strange crashing sounds.
