'Limbo Land' is a video installation in which sound and image play an almost equal and independent part, functioning autonomously as well as complementing each other, without ever being exactly synchronized. The artist does not look death in the face but rather harks back to the possible memories of a deceased person: footsteps, whispers, laughs, abandoned clothes, unanswered for messages, the loaded atmosphere during the wake, ...
'Limbo Land', DVD and sound installation
'.. a work of rare formal and emotional subtlety ..' (Michael Wilson)
'Limbo Land is about the search for empathy and how we might deal with
its communication, ..'
(Adam Chodzko)
After Los Angeles and Turin, Adam Chodzko will now present his new DVD
and
sound installation entitled 'Limbo Land', in Athens at Els Hanappe
Underground. 'Limbo Land' is a moving depiction of the emotions
perceived
by the artist following the death of his father and his quest to
translate
these emotions into sights and sounds so that the viewer might find
himself
within this experience of the emotional space of transition.
'Limbo Land' is a video installation in which sound and image play an
almost equal and independent part, functioning autonomously as well as
complementing each other, without ever being exactly synchronized. The
artist does not look death in the face but rather harks back to the
possible memories of a deceased person: footsteps, whispers, laughs,
abandoned clothes, unanswered for messages, the loaded atmosphere during
the wake, ... The gaps between the images and the sound samples that
were borrowed from various sources, create a tension that refers to the state
of loss.
