Night Sweat
Siegfried A. Fruhauf AT, 2008, 10', 35 mm
The sky’s blue hanging above the black of a forest. Lightning flashes over a clearing. And the white ball of the moon with dark spots. These are the three suggestions that make Night Sweat an examination of a visual effect’s technical aspects. (...) Night Sweat is a reflection on perceptions and appearances that have been prefigured by media, though not without involving its audience emotionally. This is especially clear in the second chapter, in which the stroboscopic flashes of light at night are accompanied by a snarling soundtrack of noise. The elevated view of the moon collides in a consciously brutal way with the arsenal of motifs taken from horror and splatter movies. (Thomas Edlinger)
