A photographic installation with two programmable 35mm slide projectors (double slide projection). One contains a chronological sequence of 75 (mainly) black-and-white slides (reversal film) that I made between 1998 and 2008. The other blends "images" of text in an asynchronous loop into the slide show. The work primarily thematizes the associative relationship between image and word, the actual construction of the story and the building of narrative structures. (F. C.)
