a nightpiece for those who feel or felt like they were falling
A video-installation depicting three iterations of a paper falling,
to an increasingly slowed version of a Chopin nocturne,
coming from the other room.
HD video, black and white with sound, 4”25, three-channel installation
Piano Practice 1
A pair of
hands try to play the melody from the Nightpiece on the piano, while continuously being agressively intercepted by another pair of hands.
This struggle creates another iteration of the already exhausted melody.

Tessa Langeveld (b. 1996, The Netherlands)
is a visual artist working with video, audio, drawing and installation. Langeveld’s work explores the metamorphic properties of the medium of film and animation, in which recurring gestures (such as the opening of a door) perpetually shape-shift across different media, creating an ongoing chain of works that are as alive as she is. Through this process-based approach, she employs the innate properties of the media she uses to explore the complexity of emotions and trauma.
