Essences & Particularities
by Sonja van
Kerkhoff, 1994
Three stills from the video, "Essences & Particularities".
6 min., music by Evren Celimli (USA). text: English.
Mythopoeic drawings constantly metamorphasize while a choir sing in medival style. We often think of universals as being what connects us to God or to our soul. Here I focus on the particular or exceptional as a means to form 'stories' or meaning. Images of women dominate these scenes of re-creation.
