Underneath a water surface or in an underwater world, we can see people floating. They could be a concert audience; listeners to music by TUK perhaps, for which Rock serves as a music video. But they are lying still, floating, beyond their earthly existence. Mesmerizing noise accompanies them through a channel of a pixel-infected nature that swallows them up and spits them out in a parallel universe where an artificial landscape of rocks and stones unfolds along a sea. In the worlds of Rock, it is impossible to distinguish digital from analogue, virtual from real, natural from artificial.

In Fossilization video is used as a kneading machine. Layers of images are moulded into a sticky mess that absorbs and attracts everything it touches. It's an apocalyptic endgame starring several cars, some human remains and maybe even some wishful thinking of on a moody, rainy day. A hermetic meditation on the happy decay of Western civilization it blends oil addiction, social segregation, speed, mass tourism and mass media into a dirty pixel cocktail with a sour aftertaste.

Through an everyday world that looks strange beyond recognition.
