Hofstetter
Kurt and an invited person are sitting parallel to each other facing the
sun during sunset. They spend one hour talking and experience the rotation
of earth – that means time. It is the present moment of the respective
situation that becomes the subject. Behind the two actors a video camera
is focused on the sun, catching their silhouettes in the opposite light.
Moments of communication will be recorded and edited to mediate (transmit)
artistic documents of time via TV and the WWW.
