Leib

HD video in loop 5’40”

The video work Leib focuses on the human need to be part of something bigger.

Leib shows large crowds, filmed from above, moving like one large organism, set in motion by a primordial impulse. It is both frightening and soothing to see and experience. A ritual with unwritten rules, intuitively sensed and monitored by the group.

Roos van Geffen: ‘Leib exposes a primal urge that touches the essence of being human; to let your deepest (sometimes aggressive) urges flow and thus feel ‘the self’ as part of the whole. The title refers to the living body through which we experience the world.
