In his video-work „Unterholz / II“ - corresponding to his photographies and drawings - Michael Fandel questions and plays with romantic topics in search for a comment on the well known theme „the individual and nature“. Always enacting himself in front of an idyllic nature-set, the gap between longing and frustration, approach and aggression, hesitation and affect, leads to an ironic play of tragic-comedy. In case of „Unterholz II“, the illusion of a landscape slowly reveals as a foto-mural, as the `more or less´ passionate act of aggression goes on.
