A film dealing with watching and being watched, small and big worlds, reality and mock-up reality. A game in scales and dimensions.
\nBig Brother Blues consists of three parts:
\n1. The mountain is calling.
\n2. The laughing pyramids.
\n3. Dangerous snow.
\nThe three \u201cTableaux\u201d show quiet highly concentrated images, that are accompanied by flowing yet accentuated programme music.
\nA little voyage into known and yet unknown worlds.<\/p>\n
“This work consists of three scenes which all have the characteristics of kitschy picture postcards brought to life: a mountain in close-up turns out, as the camera zooms back, to be a simplistic artefact paper; an Egyptian landscape lit according to the rules by the setting sun, turns out to be \u201cgot up\u201d with nodding pyramids and a sphinx with all the external appearance of a Bavarian stag; a polar beer plots valiantly onward, only to end up on a plate surrounded by twirls of whipped cream.
\nVedder and Grubber are having a romp with reality.
\nThey conjure it up momentary through, in particular, the use of subtile lighting only to distort it speedly into a playful variant of itself.
\nThe artist herself underlines the need not to take this manipulation to seriously, by appearing on the screen at the end of each scene in a ludicrous costume. The kitschy plinky \u2013 plonk music corresponds perfectly to the images.” RP
