Accompanying the exhibition «Ecstasy»
On the occasion of the exhibition «Ecstasy», videokunst.ch presents three video works, which manifest ecstasy through movement. While dancing, energies are unleashed that liberate and trigger undreamt-of forces. Through her compulsive urge to move, the protagonist in Chantal Michel’s work from 1998 ...und ich will (and I want) shifts in a trance-like state. Jeannette Ehlers’ voodoo dancer in Black Magic At The White House (2009) conjures up the powers of her enslaved ancestors through dance. The dancers in Tian Xiaolei's Myth (2018) escape reality with extravagant costumes and free dance. The three works demonstrate a spectrum of twenty years of international video creation and enable the viewer to trace the development of the medium.
