work description:

dreamtime::

interactive moving picture created in Flash by media artist Agricola de Cologne,
dedicated to Kora Montez, ballet ballerina, who died in May 2003 in Amsterdam 83 years old.

Dreamtime:: portrait of a goup of 5 young boys who passed the entrance examination for the State Dance Academy, in order to become a professional dancer.

Each of the young dancers come from different social backgrounds, have different motivations, and see their vocation to become a dancer as a “dreamtime” whether in a positive or negative sense.

It is “STAGE” which forms the work environment and each of the boys has optionally his special performance.

It is this dreamtime where all are involved: teachers, students, stage and stage performers

which formed the basic life environment of Kora Montez, once a ballerina, always a ballerina, even in death.

In this way, “dreamtime::” is an another multi-facetted allegory of art.

The work is developed according the principle of SAMAC

(Simultaneous Associative Media Art Composing) which describes Agricola’s individual way of experimental electronic writing: words, sound, images, animation, music and voice performance are developed simultaneously –depending on each other – in one long single process.

Voice, sound, text, programming by Agricola de Cologne.
The movie is developed in Flash, directed and produced by Agricola de Cologne.
