fear:love is an audiovisual installation by Gerrit Kress, which deals with the two emotions of fear and love. It reveals the human emotional centre: an inner core that houses the respective emotion, intergrown with a system consisting of sending and receiving arms which facilitate communication between body and soul. By means of projecting moving images onto a 3-dimensional object, light design and 4.1 surround sound, the viewer of fear:love experiences a new perspective on emotions. fear:love was produced as a Video 2 exam for Prof. Dr. Heike Sperling and Andreas Kolinski. The work was exhibited in the tanzhaus nrw (NRW dance house) as well as in the Institute For Music And Media of the Robert Schumann School of Music and Media in Düsseldorf.
The piece won one of the thirteen Visual Music Awards in 2011.
