About The Artwork

A black wall of smoke approaches the spectator in cyclic time intervals similar to a tsunami wave. The slow construction and dissolution of this encountering shape balances between strong abstraction and glimpses of realism, fueling associations of fire, storm and natural forces, but overall using a reduced visual code of hard black and white tones. Together with the heavy pulsating subbassdriven soundtrack the sum of those elements generate one constant stream of ongoing change for the audience, which is encountered of the whole dystopian process with deliberately limitations of control. A/Bruteforce appeals to the fascination of the menacing and equally sublime moments of annihilation.
