Austria 2003, 4 min, language: without dialogue
The video i am sad is part of a series of works on ”digital translations of reality” (D. Bruckmayr). Fuckhead – one of the band projects of cultural workers Bruckmayr/Strohmann – is one of these translation projects. The masculinity-charged raging of brachial heavy metal music runs – analogue to the technical processes of sound mixing – through the filter of another cultural form of expression: the opera and its melodramatic employment of voices, as well as the distant, cool, electronic creation of sound. The result is a bastard, a science-fiction being whose existence grows increasingly precarious. (Michael Loebenstein) - Together with Didi Bruckmayr.
