Namibian desert and Katatura.

This project is a (video)performance about film, about the research on the drama of human existence and the origins of human culture and man’s will to create., done by and through the eye of the film camera, which becomes the eye of the spectator.
The performance is concerned about the Horizon, the horizon as a limit of individual and universal consciousness, as an orientation of individual and universal awareness and as an element between time and timelessness.
The performer involves individual aspects of her life and of her culture, which are by nature linked to contemporary cultural awareness of today’s man. Through the setting on a circle in the location of the Namibian desert the individual is confronted to the universal, fashion to timelessness, the instant to the eternal, space to spacelessness. It is thus a project which links the existential to the philosophical, the spiritual to the mundane, and creates a specific awareness of the eye of the camera, as the centre of the being, the spectator, who will be watching this film.
