Sandy Volz is showing her series Hearts of Darkness. We see only details of two people engaged in some form of physical confrontation. The scenes remain ambiguous: Are we witnesses of a fight or rather a sexual act? There is no linear story to be read, only a highly aesthetic succession of pictures, with the kind of dramatic gestures and heavily pleated clothes reminiscent of Baroque paintings. Volz has distilled paradigmatic motifs from a now irretrievable plot, and condensed them into autonomous pictures.
