The multimedia video installation STICKY MOUTH deals with the question of the extent to which human changes in a time of increasing virtual realities and himself becomes part of the enormous transformation process in which the boundaries of realities become increasingly blurred and no longer form entities.
The 3-channel video shows a man lying in a tub as he melts wax cubes as if in an absurd ritual. Analogous to the materials, which undergo a continuous process of transformation from wax mold to bronze casting, the man can simultaneously be seen as an avatar whose trigger points can be controlled virtually. This results in a variety of analogies of man and material, which mirror each other in their different forms and aggregate states and continually question our real and virtual certainties.
