Opposites Attract (2009) a kinetic interactive video installation
Opposites Attract adresses the battle, which is as old as human beings excist, between the two sexes and the attraction of the opposite sexe. The feeling of one's excistence by refering onto the other.
On two screens are shown a naked man and a naked woman who are locked into a wooden box. They vainly try to connect to eachother by knocking on the walls of there own boxes. Opposites of the screens are suspended two big wooden boxes, where from syncronated the sound of the knocking sounds. The sounds give the impression that the videos are from a live registration (security cameras). So it seems that the man and the woman are really locked up in the boxes.
Note: the sound is generated by mechanical knocking machines and therefor the knocking sounds real.
