“Down the Rabbit-Hole” bezieht sich auf ein Zitat aus dem Roman Alice im Wunderland: “Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning?”
In der lautlosen Loop-Projektion schwebt die Kamera durch einen zwielichtigen Raum, in dem der Fussboden mit einer Vielzahl von schlafenden, jugendlichen Mädchen bedeckt ist, und zeigt ein nahezu groteskes Bild eines adoleszenten Tiefschlafes, eines Zustandes des endlosen Übergangs.
English:
“Down the Rabbit-Hole” refers to a quotation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning?”
In the silent loop-projection, the camera slowly observes a shady room where numerous sleeping girls cover the floor and shows a bizarre picture of an adolescent coma, a neverending transition.
