INFORMATION on “DEAD OR ALIVE”, webwork by Jane McAdam Freud 22 minute DVD ©Jane McAdam Freud 2006 With accompanying music sung by Kathleen Ferrier You tube link to a 5min preview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C72HZlYiRZw
McAdam Freud's short film 'Dead or Alive' references Freud’s concept of Condensation. The pairings morph into each other through the merging back and forth of Freud’s antiquities with her sculpture, from past to present ‘virtually’ closing the gap of time. Great similarities can be found in the forms and motifs of the pairs. At a midway point the two objects merge together and form a third image of a ‘virtual’ object. Her preference for this work is to locate it within reach of a psychoanalytically aware audience.
