Aurelia Mihai

This publication documents the video work "Unter freiem Himmel" (2007) by Aurelia Mihai. This complex project includes filmic image, a storyboard, an animated film scene and a text by Wulf Herzogenrath. In both the video and the publication, the artist unveils contrasting layers of content in a powerful and visual language, using both a light, playful touch, and stark, reduced means. She blends together the traditional values of Islamic-mystic culture and current Western obsessions with youth.
