CONCEPT
DER SCHNITTER is defined by a persistent use of images and topics coming from a psychological, sadomasochist and self-destructive background, inspired by a widespread desecrating attitude, sometimes profane towards religious symbols represented by the thinness of a woman unconsciously responsible of the body’s functions and of her sexual acts. It represents the experience of a progressive passage, that implies a “renewing death”.
Video and related sounds, basically of post-industrial features, go along the trip of human body’s decomposition, a body which is then covered by a “white blood” as a symbol of purity renewing in small actions that pervade the surrounding, sometimes disconnected and unpredictable, sometimes designed in details.
Such actions, sliding unconsciously towards the mise-en scène of parareligious rituals referred to the Christian liturgy and to the classical Greek tragedy, include both erotic and disgusting feelings without a solution of continuity.
The end will be the rebirth.
