TINA-MARIA FEYRER

Dreamlike, ambivalent and haunting, Tina-Maria Feyrer’s images explore the darker side of existence.”

After receiving an odd text from a stranger during dinner, Neeve decides to stay the night at her old friend Julius’ house. As the evening progresses Neeve’s reality begins to flip and and the lines between sleep and awake become very blurred indeed.

Feyrer is known to use the framing of the off-monolog. Therefore she is working with expressionistic tableaus and poetic ciphers. Feyrer’s visual style is instantly recognisable. It recalls the paintings of the baroque area, you will be reminded of the light subjects of Caravaggio. The color contrast meets the acromatic darkness. The background is therefore undefined. Only body and face is to be seen. We don’t know in which environment the body is moving because we don’t see. Therefore the traditional connotation of light, which is to see the world only with brightness is taken to absurd. In Feyrer’s film we see the world going willingly into darkness. Art is not a rational form of awareness. The most important thing is the process of creation. This requires strength and a kind of relentlessness for yourself.
