TUSSLEMUSCLE<br />
Steve Cossman<br />
Die hier präsentierte Arbeit ist eine Betrachtung des<br />
ökologischen Verhältnisses der Menschheit und dem<br />
Ritual der Restauration. Der starke Puls vermittelt ein<br />
Gefühl von Dringlichkeit und chaotischem Kampf,<br />
während die hypnotisierende Anordnung uns in blinder<br />
Ehrfurcht vor deren Zustand erstarren lässt. TUS-<br />
SLEMUSCLE besteht aus 7.000 Einzelbildern, nach<br />
dem Vorbild der Dias auf den Scheiben für View-Master.<br />
Jedes Bild wurde von Hand geschnitten, um einen<br />
bandförmigen Filmstreifen zu erhalten. Jacob Long<br />
komponierte die Musik.<br />
The work presented is a reflection on humanity's ecological<br />
relationship and the ritual of restoration. The<br />
violent pulse speaks with a sense of urgency and<br />
chaotic struggle while the hypnotic arrangement<br />
keeps us in blinding awe as to its condition. TUSSLE-<br />
MUSCLE is composed of 7,000 single frames, which<br />
were appropriated from view-master reel cells. Each<br />
frame was hand-spliced to create a linear film-strip.<br />
Jacob Long created the score.<br />
›Time is constantly moving within a framework of units<br />
and this irrepressible motion is the nexus of human experience‹-<br />
S.C. Working to create a resonating interval,<br />
Steve Cossman re-structures familiar sequences<br />
within a patterned visual language causing the viewer<br />
to give thought to established perceptional relationships.<br />
Eternity, mortality and the fragility of nature are<br />
common themes in his work. He currently lives and<br />
works in Brooklyn NY.<br />

of battle. The film covers over 400 years of history in<br />
