Bubblejam

in collaboration with Julie Jaffrennou (France)

1999

Some are trapped in the air
Some are in the water
We are stucked here,
in our boundaries of being to be
Steps blow the dust
Over the border of the past
We just go on forwards,
carrying the memories
The action seduces reaction.
The ideas are transformed into the pictures of reality.
The reality worlds are translated into the abstract world.
The situation is supported by the moving image of daily and the lights of dreams.
