video installation: computer animations, transferred to DVD (PAL), for six screens (alternative five), colour, sound, 00:00:04 min., loop, since 2001 edition of 10+1 A.P.
Description: a 6-channel-video installation with sound – namely the first video installation ever published in an edition. It shows green, strangely anthropomorphic objects appearing from a blank background, jumping into the foreground before eventually disappearing, accompanied with synthetic sounds. In fact, these forms are computerized animations of landmines which form a bizarre parade, weird and unsettling.
