"Kurvenreich"

video (DVD), 3 min., loop

signed certificate (Galerie Mezzanin)

In this short, smoothly edited video, Anna Jermolaewa combines in an ironic and playful way two of the most popular clichés of erotic male fantasies: beautiful women and fast cars. Far from images shaped by media marketing strategies, in Jermolaewa's video, a red toy sports car curves over the rolling hills of female bodyscapes, surveying the female body piece by piece in an endless loop. Through the fragmented view of the body and the renunciation of personalization by showing the face, the video deliberately eludes the expected sexualization and playfully persists in the sensual "experiencing" of the body's boundaries.
