In the video Liquor Balance I refer to the topic of the liquid as well as to related medical production processes of the valves - shunts
as well as the balancing, the keeping of balance. The moving images of heads and bodies in water reflect the floating and fluctuating moment of unstable equilibrium in the liquid element. There is no location and no hold in space and time. Floating figures in the water lose their balance in peculiar, almost weightless movements, falling, swimming, groping, trying to keep their balance. A subtle game with unusual perspectives above and below the water makes the viewer's point of view sway again and again.
Aya Irizuki - swimming into lungs -
explores the boundaries between her body's interior and its exterior
world, below and above water. Filaments and color swirl in streaks,
hands and gauze interweave and glide in water, fabric floats beneath
bubbles.
The shots of moving heads and
bodies in the water reflect the suspended and unsteady moments of
instable equilibrium in the liquid element. There is no bearing or footing in space and time.
