- synopsis: LUX online catalogue 2005
- Two infantile bodies are floating in a cyberspace ball. They are simultaneously connected with two subconscious bodies in the background. The attempt of unification and metamorphosis is interrupted by one part, meanwhile the other part is liberated. A glance over the shoulder means destruction. The sources for the soundtrack are fragments of the childhood voices of early Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder songs.
- synopsis: EMAF - European Media Art Festival:
- Immer will man das wovon man weiss, dass man es nicht haben sollte, je mehr man weiss, dass man es nicht haben sollte, desto mehr verlangt man danach. Und eines Tages bekommt man es, und es tut einem so gut.
- synopsis: Video Data Bank, Chicago
You ever want something,
that you know you shouldt have,
the more you know you shouldt have it,
the more you want it.
And than one day, you get it, and its so good to you.
A short story about new bodies, the power of denial and a state of no sunshine. Two infantile bodies are floating in a cyberspace ball. They are simultaneously connected with two subconscious bodies in the background. The attempt of unification and metamorphosis is interrupted by one part; meanwhile the other part is liberated. A glance over the shoulder means destruction. The sources for the soundtrack are fragments of the childhood voices of early Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder songs.Performed by Bjorn and Roald Melhus
"Melhus appears to be best suited to unite the diverse positions within media-art. His trips into the world of body-fantasms are at once fascinating journeys into the unknown, and an uncanny look at an old acquaintance..."-Tageszeitung, Berlin
