Synopsis
Corinna Schnitt's video narratives often begin with everyday scenes that gradually turn into the absurd. In Tee trinken various old people are shown within a modern living environment, sitting silently and without any motion. On different TV sets they all watch the same video of a young girl in a field of flowers, elegantly drinking tea and smiling. The video deals with the relationship between age and youth, nature and culture, and finally between reality and media.''With her cinematic cabinet pieces, Corinna Schnitt presents our everyday life that we do not seem to realize anymore. The artist opens our eyes to an environment, which we could make more human, if we actually perceived it as it is.'' (Ute Haug)
