xoo – ex ovo omnia

2 channel video installation, 66 min., 2006

The film has been realised 2005 at the headquarters of the “Parti Communiste Francais“ in Paris. The building has been designed by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer in 1965 and has been completed in 1980. We were drawn to the building‘s futuristic shape which allowed us to look into the future from the perspective of the past. The construction is a reminiscence of the style of the Brazilian capital Brasilia - a built science fiction utopia, created by Niemeyer.
Under a white concrete dome, that resembles an egg half buried in the ground, one finds the big conference-hall of the Oscar Niemeyer Building in Paris. The white concrete dome is the site of an unusual experiment: two actors in white protection suits are concentrating on lining up raw eggs on the white conference tables. The task requires a calm hand, great patience and an understanding of complex structures such as the architecture of an egg.
