pliii (2021)

Are these the images of a rocket throttling its engine and landing? Or are we in the bedlam of a nuclear air raid—should we scurry for shelter? The compositions recall satellite images of destruction: fire, hot lava, or the sun itself. Tina Frank continues her impressive body of work in visual music—which featured many collaborations with the musician Peter Rehberg. Pliii is also a tribute to the late artist. (tr)
