Going over my posts, I realized I didn't publish my bit on the exhibit earlier. So here it is...
I liked the two adjoining videos. They first caught my attention because of their names (even with my paltry German vocabulary I understood the titles). Both videos conveyed the message of departure, a “goodbye”. The first piece, “Tschüss”, featuring Adel's son waving goodbye was gentle and almost wistful. The second video “Schnell” was a free-fall from a helicopter, a more violent send-off. The contrast between the two was what kept my interest. Why would anyone choose such a violent end? Wouldn't the pull of a child's love not be enough to keep them? For me, it was the most compelling of Adel's work on display.
