Video/New Media is a new lingua franca for expression besides being a test
of contemporary problems, including primordial identity. It is inherently
reflective, re-constructive, critical and instant. It’s strength is that
it can pose questions paradoxically. This language introduces opportunities
for people to participate in the process of a cultural dialogue which is
more balanced and sustainable.
Notions of pleasure and entertainment are linked to the desires of present
life. At the same time, happiness is conjoined with religion in its promise
of an eternal life. The Bubbles is a montage of metaphorical images (court
dance, Pavarotti singing, the Teletubbies and an ulama, a religious teacher)
flying in the sky and floating in the sea, depicting a journey with the
images conversing with one another over time and space. It simultaneously
projects a dreamlike quality and a noisy awakening. The bursting bubbles
suggest the commencement of purification, which continues endlessly.
