meteo

pulsating bodies of men and women on the beach will appear
glistening in the sunlight. They hold up ro
und mirrors in front of the upper parts of their bodies which, rather
irritatingly, break the sunlight. At the same time, the viewer is agitated by the sound backdrop issuing from a space
-
capsule, from which initial spoken instructions then pass over into
the clattering sound of machine gun fire. Although
the bathers are not hit by the shots, the work induces in the viewers a sense of utmost irritation. The title »Meteo 2004«
points to a political climate at a time of pervasive threat by terrorist acts. Her
e, the shots, not yet faded from perception
mix with the daily evening news and the subsequent weather report (ital.: »il meteo«) and forecasts of sunny bathing
pleasures on the beach.
