EXIT (1997)
Film installation with projection, 3-D animated film
Variable dimension, film 3,40 min. format 4:3
Exit takes point in Hieronymus Bosch´s drawings of disabled; the drawings are used as documentary images where the disabled are put into a nightmare-like situation where several limping, disabled people being chased by a fire coming down a 1000 metres long corridor. They seem to be victims of a demonic, grim contemporary version of a gladiator game. Every time the fire consumes someone, the applause from the loudspeakers covering the walls, crescendos. Some of the people manage to save themselves with the help of a helicopter waiting for them.
The work was showed first time in conjunction with a group show at The Louisiana Exhibition, New Art from Denmark and Scania (1997).
