Summary :
Pulsating body waves pass through a snail crawling along the monitor's diagonal. TREMOLO LIQUIDE shows the human mollusc. The fluids of the inner body run through the body's outer boundary, the skin. Like a seismograph, the video camera captures all those small body tremors resulting from every body movement or vibration. Through picture manipulation, the body's streams are condensed to an almost amoeba-like appearance, transcending them to a tidal materiality : both exciting and frightening.
In the nude, the human being resembles a mollusc that sensitively feels the outside world through its skin. This membrane separates the amoeba-like inside from "the waters of outside life". TREMOLO LIQUIDE shows the bodily vibrations in harmonic, exciting as well as frightening communication with the darkness out there. Inner body fluidity pulses against the interface of its boundaries. Beware of breaking those borders… wounding and destruction threaten every moment. The exterior is formless. The primeval mud of the internal breeds the appearance of concrete beings. From the single-cell organism, swelling matter finds its perfection in the bodily from that it takes. VEIT-LUP illustrates the body tides as planetary events. The body itself becomes a planet. The poetic gliding and trembling searches for a harmony with the surrounding forces.
