| And...a
(l)andscape...
The newest work by media artist Agricola de
Cologne,"]and_scape[,"was inspired by poetic texts by Liubov Sirota, an
Ukrainian Chernobyl survivor -- an especially chilling thought given the
nuclear threats in the world today (think India and Pakistan, or the
post-Cold-War Russian missles just lying around, at least as the media has
us believing). In this piece, the viewer confronts a series of
environments: real, imagined, or somewhere in between. When we think of a
contemporary post-nuclear or post-bomb landscape, are we really thinking
of something completely unimaginable? After all, humankind has used and
abused the world around us, and we've already seen the horrors of
Hiroshima and Chernobyl. This new work features not only multimedia but
also voice and sound performance by Agricola de Cologne as well, lending
it an extremely personal touch.
