HAIKU FOR ANCESTORS

For giving a new meaning to the world’s oldest rhythm of words in a most sensual way of showing human body in correlation between time and space, using only a limited amount of shades amongst which the camera was able to capture the soul of the human being.

– SPECIAL MENTION by Kerdi Oengo, jury UNDER_the_RADAR Festival Vienna

VISUAL POEM / AUDIO-VISUAL INSTALLATION

by & with Andrea Hackl

[2:12 min // in loop]

Hackl’s work always seeks to tap into our inner most core, to celebrate our vital power & energy, an alchemical process of becoming, through the dark towards the light.

.
GHOSTS DISSOLVE IN LIGHT is a visual & sensorial poem, a morphing trace flowing through the womb of time, our inner ocean and origin, diving through the dark, light notes playing with shadows in a fluid dance of creation, like light rays breaking through the surface of the ocean. A meditation, an incantation to heal our ancestor’s history, still pulsating within our blood.
