Whirr

The video of a person blow-drying their hair is distributed across two monitors. They are each standing upright in front of a mirror so that the image content is doubled. One monitor shows the flying hair, which looks like a flying creature in the mirror. The other monitor shows the hairdryer, which looks as if it is blowing on itself or arguing with the mirror image. The title is an onomatopoeia and is used in comics for the flapping of birds' wings or for a stream of air. The work is about liveliness and how the impression of liveliness is created. It shows a part of the body (the tips of the hair) that has no living cells.
