VALIE EXPORT Virtual Tour:
Die un-endliche-ähnliche Melodie der Stränge
(The Un-ending Un-ique Melody of Chords)


zoom in
1998, video installation
25 TV/VCRs, 1 video
variable dimensions

Un-ending Un-ique Melody of Chords uses the cacophonous action of the sewing machine to suggest the violence of penetration and the monotony of “women's work. ” The 25 monitors refer to the 25 frames per second in European film; the dense installation suggests a crowded factory or sweatshop, where mindnumbing conditions prevail.
