Sybille II 1999
by Wim Delvoye.
The subject of Sybille II by Wim Delvoye is the skin. The magic of the
work lies in the use of extreme close-ups. They cause the pictures to at
first look like an imaginary, lifeless landscape. After several minutes
worm-like objects on the surface come to life.
Delvoye creates a work of art that confounds our conventional notion of
what constitutes the beautiful. The film shows a series of sequences in
which various forms, invariably in tones of white and ivory, seem to
emerge from nowhere in a delicately cross-stitched landscape.
Further explanation of what the is being filmed is written on the site...
