The Film consists of three parts

bouncing, spinning, and pushing 3 Videos looped Nermin Adanir Camera Patrick Latimier 2010 Paris The inspiration for these videos came from my work much was decided before you were born and from examining the behavior of the second and third generation of Armenians living in Turkey. My interest with the works bouncing, spinning, and pushing was focused on people who are confronted with contrasting views and values. Specifically, I want to visualize in these works the different strategies people use for coping with emotional, sociological, and cognitive ambivalence. The three videos show two springs that exercise power on an object. To visualize the different coping strategies, I cut the videos and looped them. It is important though that each film also comes with a sound that originates from the movements of the object. Given that the videos were cut and looped, each video has a rhythmic sound that creates an oppressive feeling for spectators.Marc Gloede writes about this Work Presented on single monitors we see three videos that visualize the conditions of 'bouncing', 'spinning' and 'pushing'. A metal ring is clamped between to springs and set in motion.Adanir hereby makes a direct reference to Newton’s Laws of motion, or in other words: three physical laws that form the basis for classical mechanics. While these laws describe the relationship betweenforces that are acting on a body and the motion due to these forces, Adanir’s work goes beyond the pure documentation of facts.Dispersed in space we understand how Nermin Adanir’s videos become a force in space themselves, that can be understood as a translation of these ideas very much in line with Newton: comparable to the ring in the video, the observers of Adanir’s films are set in motion by a visual impact. It becomes eminent that watching a film always has to do with a certain kind of motion. Starting with the fact of light crossing space, but then continuing within the bodyies of the observers where this energy results in other dynamics like moving in space or even feelings! As Giuliana Bruno has pointed out in her famous book “Atlas of Emotion“, it is in such rare occasions in the arts that we actually understand how motion and emotion are related. Intriguingly, in her other work included in the exhibition “muc was decided before you were born“ (2009-10) she focuses on internal and external contrasts which have been described as emotional and sociological ambivalence. Hence, seen in relation to “much was decided before you were born“ Adanir’s work “bouncing, spinning, and pushing“ can be viewed even more clearly not just as a reflection on scientific aesthetics, but as a laboratory of (e)motion.
