Danica Dakic

Surround - video installation, DVD, 9'34'', Sound Surround System

Where do the sites of the religion take place? Is there site of Islam today, or Judaism, or Christianity?
Seven languages and voices emerge from seven bodies standing on a a revolving stage, voices read sing texts from religious books, in Sanskrit, Arabian, Hebrew, Latin etc. The diversity of voices, languages and religions creates a complex sound surround environment.The video installation of Danica Dakic will pose the question of identity as a question of a spiritual space it unfalls in.
