"Löschner`s Bucket" - 1993
……….is a video object. The essential element is a wooden washing-machine, built in the 50`s- the grandfather of today's washing-machines. On the machine stands a metal bucket. The mechanism of the machine is replaced by an invisible TV. A circular hole is cut into the wooden lid which is then completely covered by the bucket. The bottom of the bucket is removed and now when you look into the bucket you see video images. The video is about the element water. It lasts one hour (without repetitions) and it runs as an endless loop (56 min Hi8 videotape). The pictures look very poetic. The 'story' develops from successive cuts of various actions within and with the water. The resulting scenes are full of esprit. The film`s soundtrack mostly is in sync with the pictures; sometimes the original sounds are replaced. There are also silent scenes.
