ISLE
OF LOX: THE FRUITS ELECTRIC
HD, 16:9, Color, Stereo |
|
„Isle
of Lox“ is a video
series Project created by Leyla Rodriguez & Cristian Straub.
THE FRUITS ELECTRIC
A
girl and “The Reflektor“ are washed ashore a beach.
Strangely attracted by “The Flags” and uncanny sounds,
she starts exploring the island she stranded on. When she picks The
Fruits“ from “The Tree“ of sound she is instantly
transposed to a mysterious house = “The Transformer“.
This is when she becomes aware of her transformation: she is now the
keeper of the sound crown, she has become the fruits electric girl.
"In the beginning was sound"
The Fruits Electric borrows iconograpphy from very diverse sources
to take us on a audiovisual journey of dicovery in the quest for the
primordial origin of sound. The Greek myth of Aphrodite´s birth
from the oceanic foam, the biblical passage of Eve and th forbidden
apple or Grim´s fairy tale Hansel & Gretel, are references
used to create an audiovisual experience that is at once intrigging
and seductive. |
