I must alter myself into a life-form which can exist on this planet
Rämö Lau
The work feels and imagines life in an environment that is in flux, time and the water element, where it dives inside. By imitating, stumbling, flowing, taking over, hiding and shapeshifting, life re-organises itself. Again and again. A four-channel installation version of the video piece is also available by request.
