The fan blows onto VHS rustling leaves and every minute or so, a rhythmic cycle of flash frame images appear, taken from an old catalogue selling film washers. The fleeting glimpses of a woman presenting a wardrobe’s worth of machinery are reminiscent of a spangled magician’s assistant.
The room shown in the movie is one out of four rooms for the installation ‘untitled’ (2011). Savic-Gecan made this installation for the Witte de With, Rotterdam (NL) exhibition Melanchotopia. The text on the wall explains: “Every change in temperature in the city of Rotterdam causes one of the spaces in Witte de With to open and close.”
