SCHLUCKEN! - SWALLOW! video installation (Oslo, NO 2006/ Ottersberg, G 2007)

a collaboration of VOLUMEN EXPRESS and http://defizit.org/

Schlucken! shows the face of an illegal immigrant who is forced fed in a prison in Austria. “Swallow!” the female’s doctor’s voice insists repetitively. SCHLUCKEN/ SWALLOW is projected on a massage table and refers to misguiding, enjoyable names of torture techniques like telephone, jukebox, shower or Disco.
