The PROVERB PICTURES are another collection of
six fine art videos, all about 2 to 10 minutes in
length.
The PROVERB PICTURES analyse the interdependence
of words and phrases and fantasy of the
speaker/receiver. The film maker uses complete
freedom of interpretation by combining images with
words in a dadaesque manner.
The Proverb Pictures are based on rules and
regulation texts, e. g. the Mississippi fishing
rules and regulations of 2011, and verbal phrases
as used in sport pep talk or in fortune cookies.
Film samples of Proverb Pictures are MIGRATING
BIRDS PICTURE and MOST WANTED FUGITIVES PICTURE
MIGRATING BIRDS PICTURE is based on an
ornithological categorizing text about the
migrating birds of Florida, USA. The film is about
the similarities of human appearance and
characteristics of bird appearance in natural
habitats.
