Sonatina

With 'Sonatina', eddie d continues his experiments with the deconstruction of language, and pushes them to extremes. As in his other works, he makes use of the standard TV-image of a 'talking head' that looks straight into the camera. The man's words have been chopped up in such a way that only loose letters and sounds remain. The resulting choreography of his head alternates between frozen standstill and jerky movement - a difference that limits itself to a few millimetres.
By means of precise, rhythmical editing, eddie d has created a musical composition that is inspired by the sound poems of Kurt Schwitters. The talking head is portrayed by a Dutch politician who, in the Netherlands, is best known for his clear articulation.
