The video image shows the opening and closing thighs of a woman - very slowly and over and over again. Nearly endlessly. Like a photographic diaphragm they either obscure or enable the view of the sea in the distance. On the horizon, a coastal landscape appears in front of the setting sun. Only the murmuring sound of the sea is audible. The monotony and slowness of the movement creates an intimate and undisturbed atmosphere of subtile eroticism that puts the viewer in the position of a voyeur. The thighs, however, are not only a methaphor for lust and exhibitionism but also refusal and distance. The intimacy of apparent closeness only lasts a short moment. The work requires time so that the alternation between light and colours, silence and sound, emotional closeness and cool distance can unfold. Only then can the video convey the sensual and aesthetical experience that no other media can express.
