Spintex
Gina Czarnecki, Ulf Langheinrich UK, 2008, 13', SD video
In Spintex, Czarnecki and Langheinrich attempt to encapsulate the multiple, interconnected daily rhythms of physicality and mortality that resonate in the environment and the dance. The artists use processes of electronic recording, reproduction and disintegration to give the film rich digital surfaces. The images appear to dissolve within the noise and pixels of these surfaces, but emerge to striking effect before becoming highly textured again. Filmed at an open air night club and other locations in the Ashanti region of Ghana, where Ulf Langheinrich lives, Spintex is based on a real-time transition from day to night.
