Schwelle' is a media art project in three parts, exploring the limits of consciousness on the threshold between life and death. The three parts of the project reflect the Tibetan Book of the Dead. TESLA presents parts 1 and 2. The first part is a stormy meditation in which the moments preceding death can be experienced through images and sound. In the second part, the material odyssey of the body is reflected in the dance of Michael Schumacher. His body is immersed in a bright sphere of light whose colours and sounds ceaselessly change.
