DESCRIPTION:
Audial inventions by the young German sound artist Brandstifter accompany New York artist Barbara Rosenthal's compulsive 4-nation collection of collectors collecting.
These cacophonous, kaleidoscopic bits work both as abstract composites and as separate little movies. The ambience of each city, Beijing, Paris, NY and Moscow, comes through. And, knowing Rosenthal, there must be some deeper meaning in here somewhere, relative to her life, and ours. Perhaps it has something to do with the view out her Greenwich Village window: straight onto the beautiful Hudson River, but just below the NYC Department of Sanitation. Look again into your rubbish: seek hidden priceless gems.
This video, premiering in the Urban Research festival of Berlin Directors Lounge, February, 2010, is scheduled for general release concurrent with "Dirty Book," another of Rosenthal's works that make art from the trash of life.
