The polarizing filters of the screens in "VideoSculpture XVIII, have been partially removed, manually deconstructed into fleeting strips. Here, the DIY nature and punkish poetic gesture of taking a knife to the screen remains visible. On close inspection, this techno altarpiece reveals the dust and dirt as the glue of the machine is cut apart. The composition takes a painterly approach to mass media, playing with the framing and filtering of the camera, the screen and the narratives delivered towards a shaping of popular opinion. Van der Auwera hence creates a distance from the event, flattening it through abstraction. This distance allows one to rethink and shift perception, escaping the problem that exists through ubiquitous exposure. Often, the more something is exposed, the less visible it becomes.
