2002, video installation (loop), 09:00min.Anita Sarosi is balancing and dancing at the border of reality and virtuality. She can easily make a connection with our natural roots in our very technological age. We can see her lifecycle in a techno bubble from the zero/zenith point of the 360° camera view. Everything happens around the focal point (the camera), which follows the events as an active witness and collaborates with the artist. The process takes place inside and outside simultaneously observed on an infinity projection.
Anita Sarosi knows and uses the apparatus in a sophisticated and conveys deep content in a highly poetic way. This video is the most beautiful media artist statement I've ever seen.
