Aria, 2002
Digital video, 3:20 Min.
To the singing of a classical but imperfect soprano voice and an indefinable rhythmic sound, a camera approaches a cathedral-looking ruin from above. The camera angle goes across the dilapidated roof, slowly down the walls, and stops in the interior near the singer: a woman from the poorest conditions, surrounded by children who create the sound with plastic lids from McDonalds' paper cups.
