Parting, Dedicated to RM
HD video
7’ 31”, loop
2015
The work was exhibited at the 56th October Salon, The Pleasure of Love.
Parting, Dedicated to RM shows a group of four people in a landscape around the Rhine in Basel (Switzerland), where RM lived the second part of his life and died in the autumn of 2014. Different segments of the work suggest a series of interconnections in the relationships among these four persons, as well as a ritual related to one of them and the act of his departure.
The scenes were shot from five static camera positions. They are repeated several times during the video, emptied or with small differences in activities of the persons.
