Scope and content
“The Swan” (2005) is an intimate miniature of an urban fable that unfurls in front of the artist's window upon the unexpected arrival of a beautiful and stubborn swan in New York's East River. Slowly adjusting to his new industrial habitat, the swan fights off speeding coast guard boats, ducks away on the sight of helicopters, and wonderfully overcomes his loneliness. As in so many of Brudermann works, drama and comedy, real and surreal are inherently interconnected. She conjoins the video projection with two live performances. Dorit Chrysler's Theremin composition adds musical counterpoints, while Brudermann's narration of her swan story (opting for a playful fairy-tale language) toys with the relationship of what we see and hear.' ‘Nin Brudermann. Adventurous Entanglements', Simone Subal, Eikon - Zeitschrift fuer Photographie und Medienkunst, Vienna, Nr. 52, Dec. 2005
