The video about various stages of a vehicle’s destruction explores processes of visual deconstruction & reconstruction. In opposition to the meditative characteristics of the slowed down video material a dramatic sense is created by the narrative which traces the tension between the different aesthetics of the advertisements and the real situation. The narrative explores contemporary mobility, destructive energy, entropy and a type of virtual simulated reality (artificial created imagery) inside the real world.

Markus Soukup (1974, Germany) is a video and sound artist living and working in London since 2012. He is interested in processes of perception and explores various methods to create communicative structures situated at an indistinct border between narrative and non-narrative. Fascinated by the screen as a window opening up to virtual spaces he searches for new ways of constructing and installing ‘situations’ or ‘(mental) objects’ in real and digital space(s). He mainly works with video, animation, sound design, electronic music & field recording, typography and digital photography.
