GOLD I, II, III "Alchemy was out to convert ordinary base metal to gold and to create the elixir of life. Hannah Heer and Werner Schmiedel are repeating the alchemic processes but in a contemporary way. They color the sea gold and alternate these images with barely tangible words such as 'life', 'dream' and 'universe'. With Villa Come Me, on the celebrated fishing island of Capri, as a location, a moving painting is created with mystical overtones." --World Wide Video Festival 1984, The Hague, Holland "Deriving impulses from Renaissance paintings Hannah Heer collaborated with Werner Schmiedel and produced the three part tape GOLD. Using subnarrative and associative means, GOLD presents the mythological search for gold in a rhythmic, dream-like homage to the wealth of fantasy. The video is marked throughout by a striking, fantastic application of the color gold." --Tafelspitz International * in the permanent collection of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin Festivals The World Wide Video Festival, The Hague, Holland |
