Pumpen

1999 | 3:4 PAL, single channel, stereo, loop | 00:08:00
In the video we see a street neon lamp that does not turn on itself due to a failure. It flickers casually or turns on for short moments. Part of the scene is also a tree underneath, that becomes illuminated by the lamp. The blinking of the lamp happens randomly and forms a rhythmic composition, which climax does not occur. Pumpen is also the name of the street, in which the tree and the lamp are situated.
