The subconscious, so it is said, has its birthplace in Vienna - and no wonder, in a city that, since the fifteenth century at the behest of military contingency, boasts an interconnecting underground network of tunnels and pathways. This is where Romana Scheffknecht ties in her video "Air Raid Shelter" from 1991. It comprises simple white stripes that glow at times like flashing stairs from the black background of a monitor, or at times two moving white lines that are projected horizontally and vertically from video beamers onto a wall to meet in the middle as a cross, or three radiant, pulsating monitor images that simultaneously shine on a sheet of glass and that, in their additive reflection, seem like an eternally rising and descending white sun against a black background. These three individual video and light installations are accompanied by a throbbing sound that ebbs and flows mercilessly.0Exhibition: Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbruck, Austria (02.03.-06.05.2013)
