I LOVE YOU JENNIFER HOLLIDAY, 2023
Medium: film (00:04:04), wooden pedestal
Film on CRT TV
The installation is a vivid abstraction of colours that mirror the aura of singer Jennifer Holliday. It encapsulates the very essence of her voice, intertwining with the depths of her soul. As Holliday's voice resonates through her profound, dynamic facial expressions, the singer conducts a dialogue between her body as a vessel versus her body as a vocal instrument. Her voice's resonance goes beyond mere melody; it encapsulates a sincerity in her emotional connection to Love.
By situating Holliday's aura within a CRT TV installation, the artwork prompts contemplation on its audience, positioning, and awareness. As the installation plays without a specific Audience, it compels us to ponder whom the words are directed towards, where our own position stands, and who remains attuned.
The artwork I Love you Jennifer Holliday is exhibited together with Bauhaus-Universität, MFA Kunst im öffentlichen Raum und neue künstlerische Strategien in collaboration with Wohnlabor / Klassik Stiftung Weimar.
