under over sideways down & FEAR CHAMBER - Christoph Draeger and Heidrun Holzfeind (2008)
under over sideways down - Christoph Draeger and Heidrun Holzfeind (2008)
Three channel video installation, beanbags, 12 min.
under over sideways down is an investigation of the representation of the underworld in film history, a mind-boggling horror trip through caves, abysses and endless tunnels to the dark corners of the subconscious, where primeval fear slumbers.
The three channels show scenes from different movies to reveal similarities and stereotypes in the representation of the descend into – and life in the underworld: fear, horror, torture, death and the afterlife. A thought-provoking journey into the collective memory and subconscious. By careful composing paradigmatic moments found in these films, the piece allows us to rethink and reposition the implicit meaning of these brief filmic moments.

FEAR CHAMBER - Christoph Draeger and Heidrun Holzfeind (2008)
Video loop, 16:9, 34 min.
Fear chamber is an investigation of the underworld using scenes from more than 150 movies: a mind-boggling horror trip through caves, abysses and endless tunnels to the dark corners of the subconscious, where primeval fear slumbers. A psychedelic nightmare through film history, a roller coaster ride that keeps spiraling downwards, final destination: hell.
The piece is spliced together using snippets of movies to analyze notions of fear, horror, religion, death and the afterlife through the fractured lens of cinema and critical theory. Draeger/Holzfeind utilize montage to mine the history of horror films, Hollywood and others, creating sequences that address the representation of fear, murder, torture, Armageddon and the destruction of all things beautiful. This monumental work becomes a thought-provoking journey into the collective memory and subconscious. By careful composing paradigmatic moments found in these films, the piece allows us to rethink and reposition the implicit meaning of these brief filmic moments. (SVB)
