'elastic'

It crackles, crunches, creaks, cracks.

You get aware of your own body when you raise your hand to draw away the black curtain to get outside of the video-room after watching the video-work “Elements” by Magnus Wallin at Elastic. The white walls stings like the bees, or the eyes?, which swirls around the skeleton-muscle figures.

In a digital world anything can happen.

The sound immerses itself into you.

A dance-macabre, pick and choose your body-parts as in a candy store, construct your own body,

take off your legs and use your lungs as ears.

There is no stillness, only constant movements and new forms, constant change and transformation.

Science, bio-technology, computer games, dystopias come to your mind.

Natural history museums, death and re-birth.

Skeletons, muscles.

A still-life in motion.

A merry-go-around vanitas.

Faster and faster in a world without end,

or maybe the opposite.
