Scream

Overview

It is the expressive face of a young gir Carola Schmidt sensitively transforms the documentary video material she produced of a psychological portrait into a poetic study. The portrayed is the figure of a female fan of the band Tokio-Hotel in a concert situation. The starting point for the work is the type of fan as an individual. There is an exchange of monstrous energies with cathartic effects typical of these ecstatic states. Of course, well-known symptoms of 'fan culture' are called up through your work: unfulfilled longings, the desire to be one with the crowd, the merging of the self in the collective, the positive feelings that are shown to the star as a projection surface and the associated desire to function as a form of self-awareness through self-ingratiation.
