ALIVE

2024, Austria

Laura Wegscheider

This is film as a direct medium: the artist puts 16mm film strips in her grandparents’ grave, where they undergo a chemical reaction with microorganisms in the soil. In cinema, this transforms into a hypnotic visual stream, generated by the living soil into which we pass after death.
