Solveig Kringelborn filmed at Opernhaus Zurich, performing in the opera Oberon by Weber.
<p>Amongst the sopranos Eddy Seesing investigated posture, pose and clothing as characterizations of professional profile.
During the photo rehearsal each soprano is followed closely with a video camera, trying to isolate them. From these video recordings a fragment of each soprano is selected varying in length between 30 seconds and one minute.
Seesing concentrated on the focal point of the drama, the soprano's: Expression, Mimicry, Facial distortions during vocal climaxes, Postures and Gesticulation.
</p><p>To emphasize these elements slow motion is used - 10 times slower than the normal speed. The short pieces thus created are constantly repeated in a loop. Six video's are simultaneously projected onto the exhibition space's walls, one per soprano.
</p>
A sound fragment of every soprano each with a maximum duration of 3 minutes is played in the installation separate from the video images.
