Sarah Janssen - Perpetuated suspense
The Video art [db] work ’perpetuated suspense’ is made of found footage from feature films. I collected similar stereotypical scenes from movies, where people are moving through a building with drawn weapons, tracing their antagonist who could be hidden behind the next corner. I considered these scenes stereotypical for a lot of action movies. In all scenes a certain tension is build up while at the same time it is implemented that the suspense scene we see will suddenly be interrupted by a surprise moment. I put those chasing scenes from all kind of movies together and edited them in a way that they build a new continuity. By taking all these scenes out of their context and combine them in a looping animation, the suspense effect of each scene is losing itself in infinity.
