THE FOUR BLUE – HYMN TO PRIGOV 2021
/ Yeltsin Center, Yekaterinburg, Russia
'The Four Blue – Hymn To Prigov 2021' consists of
four videos with four temperaments
The videos are created by digitized slide photos from ‘Peace Sculpture 1995’. The videos loop. Since they have different lengths, the combinations and holistic impression is liquid. The work is therefore experienced slightly differently every time you see and hear it.
At one point, all monitors become blue simultaneously, since all the videos have a sequence with blue texture.
The soundtrack consists of sea and wind from the west coast of Denmark, a Russian Lyra-8 – an ambient soundtrack that manifests differently in the four films.
Work
Slide photos have been digitized to yield four videos with four temperaments.
