From a chronological point of view, Sequence_10 emerged as a follow-up project to Wolfgang Rabenstein I and combined already well-known – but played as a moving picture – with something new, totally unknown. The self-portrait, right at the beginning of my work, forms the common thread as it’s the last scene in it too.
While the storyline stays pretty much the same as it was in Wolfgang Rabenstein I, several additional elements from artistic portrait photography can be found within. Therefore, from a thematic point of view, Sequence_10 can be seen as some kind of consequence after Wolfgang Rabenstein I instead of its follow-up project.
As musical accompaniment, I selected the newly interpreted version of Black Hole Sun by SWANN because of its contrast to the original composition, which – on the other hand – equalizes its musical aspect with the composer’s interpretation. The original song was not only part of the concept of this work but also very prominent while I was working on Confessions of a Dead Poet.
As plot and drama formed the core of this work, my focus wasn’t set on leaving as much room for interpretation as possible. Instead, I’ve decided to strike the right balance between interpretation and concretization. For example, when the distortion of the black hole arises, their room for interpretation could be described as quite narrow, although both times they distinguish themselves tremendously.
