VIDEO PERFORMANCE, 2007
In The Fourth Season cherries are used as a symbol of desire and the cause of rejection thrown back at my face. Its title addresses the winter, when everything is transformed by a potential death. The camera in close up shows me waiting for someone who will never appear on the video. Meanwhile, I am transformed both by internal and external impositions inferred by an insistent and insolent desire.
The Fourth Season is part of the live performance Walk East – Erotic Poems by Norma Kluster.
