Miriam Bajtala’s two-part video work with no shadow: trigger and satellite me also revolves around the perception of digital image material: in her arrangements, the artist creates containers for narration where the shown action becomes a variable. The video images – for satellite me rearranged by a computer program – are left as visual common property and form for possible narrations to the perception of the audience.
The setting of both videos with no shadow: trigger and satellite me by Miriam Bajtala is an ample space of the former Anker bread factory in Vienna. On the floor of this space, a circle of chalk with a diameter of eighteen meters is drawn and separated into fifty regular fragments which narrow towards the middle, where the actress Anna Mendelssohn sits in a rigid pose. The lighting of a lighter in the hand of the actress is the dramaturgical culmination. Whereas in trigger, Miriam Bajtala films the protagonist of the video from fifty different angles and brings the singular tracking shots in line with the marks towards the middle on the floor, the video images in satellite me are not anymore timely-linear, but spatially structured with the help of a computer program: The respective five-seconds-long sequences – the fifty tracking shots to the middle of the circle which are taken from the original video trigger – are re-arranged alongside singular frame lines. Dramaturgical culmination of satellite me is the lighting of a lighter in the hand of the actress. With her arrangements, Miriam Bajtala creates containers for narration where the shown action becomes a variable. The artist blueprints an open depot of looks, which she returns to the perception of the audience as alleged common property.
