Animation video DV/ PAL Dur: 23.00 min/ sound / speak of text in 26 short chapters
A female character inhabits a real life size space built from grey cardboard.In the course of the video, the space proves to be capable of- at least in the digital video- doubling manyfold in numbers,collapsing, expanding, growing and shrinking in size and applying different transparencies or opaqueness to its walls.The character moves through the spaces,to the speak of the text " The text from the blue room"
The text is the leading element, hence the title- "an animated audio book" , and deals with the borders and concepts of describing relations to the other person, such as: the Other, the stranger, closely related, familiar,a sister,a brother, and thy neighbour. The character is probably less sophisticated, than she would like to think, and tries to grasp the nature of her dayli relations with her friend The Other, while regularly having break downs, and dealing with the Other's severe tendencies to memory failure.
