I feel a burning desire to break the spell and to step
out into the
open to take a deep breath of the fresh salty fall air. As I feel the
wind caressing my lungs, I hear Nebe’s “Totems Toons” uttering a faint,
sardonic chuckle.
“Totem toons” consist of four video pieces, each
connoting a different animal. Nebe uses analogue photographs of
abandoned houses on empty street views. Cloud pictures, layered and set
into motion are added to the composition. Pairing into doubles, the
four pieces work on the theme of mirror stages, and the landscapes of
the psyche. The compositional structure of the work leads towards a
juxtaposition of alienated outer “corpora” and the bodily inside. As
the “totems” emerge during the course of gazing through the polygenic
frames, they function as utopian body phantoms and ciphers for tabooed
spaces.
