Wien, Bochum, New York
A bed that is engulfed in a strange dream. The bed as a window projecting into space, into a blurred distance, a baffling parallel reality, abstract half-dreamscapes of a sleepless night. An eye composed of many eyes, like the eye of a dragonfly, an eye that sees itself, reflects itself, in itself. The over-observed space of the bed.
World policy decided in bed, with mutual favors granted and called in.
The back of the bed as a continuation of the mechanical desert of the back and side stage zones - being the B-sides - with their techno aesthetics, with every detail referring to the stage and its very nature of being the "A-side", negating the intermediate space - a place between the back of the bed, the side and peripheral sides, and the space surrounding the stage, a space where distance and eerie closeness coincide.
A surface of light clinging to the bodies and at the same time a precarious, inhospitable landscape.
