Single channel video / 4 min. loop

The main motif of the video projection story "You Think I'm Alone? No, All the Men Are Just Gone" from 2006 is a garland woven from dandelions. According to folk tradition, girls would throw it into the river's current to reveal their future — whether it would stop nearby, somewhere along the shore, or drift away toward a destiny far from home. However, the water journey in the video has a twist: the garland is released into a water course and must overcome various gates in a dramatic stream. It accepts the path of fate, ready for whatever comes, even though the journey is not always easy.
