Angelika Bartl a9502079@unet.univie.ac.at Partial views: me/tro pol/is, 2000 Slide projection, 2 slide projectors. While we can only see fragments of a metropolis, which we view as subjective images; we know that we are fragments there as well. We are part of something we cannot perceive as a whole. Two slide projectors radiate the work, which mainly consists of the word metropolis, split into the syllables me tro pol is, over two neighboring edges of the blocks. Since one can see only two sides of the block at the same time and since the single parts of the word, flashing in irregular order, are projected on three sides, metropolis cannot be read as a whole. Next to it isolated images turn up, revealing public and private partial views of the metropole New York as well as the - at least implicit - presence of an individual in it. (We are fragments of what we see as fragmentary.) Born 1977 in Linz, Austria.
