Video-Briefings | English Version
Video WeltHölzer [= matches] A text from 1932 about the matchstick monopolist Ivar Kreuger laid out with matches letter by letter on black molleton, which was then slowly rolled up so that the matches fell to the ground at the end of the track. This flow of text recorded by a camera was later reversed using digital editing technology, meaning that the matches now seem to bounce from the floor onto the fabric, where they form to letters as if by magic. The text passages are interrupted by dynamic sequences, showing matches shot off with a flick of the finger in a slow motion ignition that causes an explosion-like sound.
Video 6o h A darkened block of Czechoslovakian space stamps is scanned with a hole template, so that the illusion of a searchlight or torch is created.
Video Vom Herrn P. A common street scene on an arterial road. Via animation of the original video, the neon sign PROFITLICH (name of an electric motor company) in the background underwent a reinterpretation: After the L has fallen down two words remain as the rest: PROFIT and ICH [profit and me/ego], which now flash in irregular rhythm. Furthermore the logos/texts on all trucks, numerous vans and some cars were changed or added in such a way that speaking names or hints of text were created in each case; e.g. Offergeld [Offer-Money] or Boss.
Video The Beaver A traditional tattoo from Laos (tattoo trousers) with animals and mythical creatures was projected as a light drawing onto a darkened body, which was then flashed many times, while the acting person was holding tablets with words in front of him that told the legend of the beaver flash by flash, word by word. Presentation in a replica photo booth.
Die Kunst, Schnee zu machen [The Art of Making Snow] Super-8-projection loop: Snow flurries created with styrofoam snow.
Profil-Kreisel Super-8-projection loop: A spinning and eventually tilting top in the shape of a twisted human profile. Work that relates to cement profile busts and spinning tops as an edition object; Polycarbonate casting.
