TOMBEAU

Een video van Maria Korporal & Astrid Astra Indricane in de Third Eye Factory

Op een oude begraafplaats worden de graven één met de natuur. Grafstenen worden bedekt door vegetatie, namen worden verborgen en worden herinneringen die alleen de aarde kan lezen.
In de video wordt een grafsteen bevrijd van de bladeren en onthult de inscriptie “Unsere Lieselotte” – onze Lieselotte. Een herinnering komt aan het licht, de warmte van genegenheid, de schreeuw om een verlies. Bladeren groeien en bedekken weer, herinneringen worden begraven maar het leven gaat voor altijd door.

Free the Fishes!

“Free the Fishes!”
Film of an art-action performed by the Third Eye Factory
First screening 27.05 – 01.07.2016, Group Global 3000, Berlin
as part of the exhibition “Fische, kulinarisch überfischt / Fish, culinary overfished”

Third Eye Factory was very shocked to discover that nowadays you can buy fishes in on-line stores! Whether the people use them to eat, or as ornamental fish in garden ponds: we think it is a great injustice and want the animals rather be swimming in the open water. That’s why we bought two nice carp fishes online, and freed them into the river in front of our home. We recorded this whole action on video.

The Logic of Logistics in the Ant’s World

“The Logic of Logistics in the Ant’s World”/”Die Logik der Logistik in der Ameisen-Welt”, a video-photo-installation by the Third Eye Factory
06.11 – 18.12.2015, Group Global 3000, Berlin
as part of the exhibition “CARGO – Alles immer überall / Everything always everywhere”

Ants are great transport artists. They often carry objects that are many times larger and heavier than themselves. Food pieces are often carried by several ants together. “The Logic of Logistics in the Ant’s World” presents a look at this rational transportation system, and confronts it with the transport in the human world. The road signs are then absurd, and the supply of things that you do not need seems ridiculous: the ants are always purposeful and organized, and can not be seduced by useless brightly colored objects, which they put quickly and efficiently aside to clear the way to keep on the precious crumbs.
