Bildetage presents videos by Avi Krispin and Erik Alkema

Bildetage selected the videos of Avi Krispin (IL/NL) and Erik Alkema (NL), whose works reflect on different kinds of possible usage of the medium for the artistic practice. Avi Krispin is always working on a high technical level, many of her works involve several actors, complex lighting and sophisticated recording facilities. Erik approaches video more as a sculptor or a painter. He uses the screen as a frame and a canvas. An extra dimension to expand and to stage the sculptural worlds he creates in his personal and unique textile imagery. Despite a certain sense of humour, what many of the works have in common is a conceptual approach as well as the strategy of expression by assuming a role.
