Neverending

2006/2004 | video installation


«Neverendingis a cleverly staged video installation in which the conventions of the black box are reinterpreted. The video booth is transformed into the interior of a service elevator, on the back wall of which a permanently opening and closing elevator door is projected.

For brief moments, this door provides a view of various floors, a fitness center, a piano player, an animal shelter, a corridor with several opening elevator doors, a chicken farm, or the cabin of a wide-bodied airplane. In the endless loop of the video work, the fiction of a never-ending architecture is conveyed, a vertical city, so to speak.» (Konrad Bitterli) 

«Neverendingpacks life into 20-second video sequences and shows the world as a giant indoor mall. The individual sectors seem unnatural and artificial even when they are stuffed with plants. It is about places that are created by human hands. Feldmeier does not show nature, but situations that depict social scales and hierarchies: a stocktaking from the belly of the Western world.» (Claudia Spinelli)
