Vibeke Mascini: TANGERE

Safien Platz, KWZ Kraftwerke Zervreila AG, Stollen – GPS: 46.677820, 9.316620 – from Safien Platz ca. 10 Min.

Tangere (Latin for touch) considers human relations and knowledge shared through the lens of energy exchange and physical touch. Almost every frame of the video shows two hands whose nails are decorated with miniature spirit levels, a paradoxical tool: a rational instrument, yet with a fluid nature. This also refers to the exhibition site, where energy for human use is generated from melt water, and points to a profound relation between the environment, the human body and the technical application, and how one is able to leak into the other.
