MF ProgrammeGalina Myznikova and Sergey Provorov /PROVMYZA/ video work «Pitter-Patter»The participants of 51st Venetian Biennale, German Transmediale, the Oberhausen festival, Media Forum award winners, Tiger Short Award winners at the 38th International Film Festival, Rotterdam, -the PROVMYZA group (Galina Myznikova and Sergey Provorov) presents at this Media Forum their most recent video work «Pitter-Patter». The plot of the video is based on the famous photograph by the well-known English photographer Henry Peach Robinson who created his works in the middle of the nineteenth century. The action is centered around the sick girl lying in bed and the crowd of people who have come to bid farewell to the dying girl. The sunlight and wind with their metaphysical qualities, which keep appearing in the room throughout the plot, make it possible to perceive the video work through sensory, existential and poetical associations. The end is not far off. But the living process does not come to an end. It takes the shape of water which slowly fills the bed and, in a way, continues the sentimental and lyrical plot, running pitter-patter.
