TANZ F\u00dcR EINE FRAU

\n8’32”
\n1975\n<\/p>\n

The artist as dancer, turning incessantly around to an old waltz-tune: \u2018I dance with you into\u00a0heaven\u2019. The action is filmed from above and visualises thus the seemingly faceless centre of\u00a0a spinning voile skirt. The tune is constantly repeated, reflecting the endless turnings of the\u00a0dance. \u00a0The image is both dizzy and unsettling. The figure appears from above like the\u00a0turning ballerina of a music box, gentling swaying to and fro in the frame of the screen, only\u00a0to balance itself out again in the centre. The dancing woman resembles the core but, in this\u00a0form, causes fright. She turns into a record stuck to the turntable of habit and role-playing. \u00a0The togetherness suggested by the tune is missing completely. The artist paraphrases the\u00a0title of the waltz by relating it solely to herself. At the end of the tape she breaks down. <\/em>(Attribution: Petra Heck and Jennifer Steetskamp, Moving Images\/Moving Bodies catalogue; Netherlands Media Art Institute and CAPTURE)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
