Notes :

[ The video work "Die Schwimmerin" shows a lone synchronised swimmer "walking" on the roof of the sea. The screen is a glistening grey, silver rippled surface when suddenly the souls of a pair of feet gently emerge from the surface and slowly cross the screen. Like some strange see creature the swimmer's half-obscured body is submerged below the surface as she attempts to walk on water, strolling across its inverted surface. As with other works of Groting illustrating the power of the circular form, the swimmer at times breaks through the surface with her arms or legs while revolving her body below creating a series of rings, like whirlpools, extending across the screen. The feeling the viewer has isa of gradual vertigo watching her defy gravity and the tide.
