the rite of spring

video installation, 1999—2002

The work was inspired by Vaslav Nijinsky's choreography for Igor Stravinsky's ballet The Rite of Spring, and produced as an animation. Version I is shown on six small monitors arranged in the form of an inner and an outer circle (three monitors each), and shows a fragment of the Dance of the Chosen Victim, lasting thirty seconds. Version II is on seven large screens, arranged as above, and shows the animation of the whole, 4.5 minute long, Dance of the Chosen Victim.
