BLINDLINGS LACHEN
Audio (2 chanel), 10 min., with A. Bromley, cello: Ulrike Brand, 2015
About speech and body rhythms of jokes and laughing.
Interacting with Ernst Lubitsch`s laughing scene from his film Ninotchka, the cello embodys Leon's dramatic efforts delivering a punch line to achieve his goal with Ninotchka.
Trying that, he gets out of rhythm. The original soundtrack and the cello run a race to situate phrase after phrase, entangled by the three time slowed down thunderous laughing and stumbling of Lubitsch' orginal.
