Snail

Yannick Koller 2001 color 4min
Snail, a performance in the woods ('Biostriptease' by Katia Feltrinl shows snails eating up a dress made of salad leaves sewn on the body. The vegetal material slowly disappears and leaves but an architecture of threads. This film masticates the duration of the performance in order to digest it into condensed images that are grinnded between blurriness and cleanness and blown up under the voracious eye of the gastropods.
