The Mill, 2013
Two-screen film/one-screen film, 7:25 Min., digital 35mm, (2,35:1) stereo sound
https://vimeo.com/58559396
There are two versions: a special one-channel film for viewing in cinematic context and a version with two video channels
for a room installation context.
The work explores poetic ways to grasp phenomena linked with capital(ism). Long tracking shots of snowy trees join tracking shots of small runlets in the forest, also set in winter.
Shooting took place in Germany around Baden-Baden and South-Palatinate in January 2013.

Salix, 2013
Installation with video (4k) and audio (8:06 Min.). Saw bench, light bulb, CRT screen
Installation view at Galerie 1M3 Lausanne, Switzerland
The film was made over several shooting days during two months in an dystopian farmhouse in an village called Steinfeld
in Southern Germany.
The old couple living there, Mr. and Mrs. Schwöbel are in their 90s and have been producing baskets in the 1960s and
1970s. They are the grandparents of my expartner; my partner was against this film at first. The title of the film ‘Salix‘ refers to the latin word for (basket) willow. Cinematography by Nicolas Geissler, Sounddesign by Sascha Blank.

Two screen video (digital 35mm, 2,35:1) and audio installation, 9 Min., bark mulch, stones, tree stumps, heat and humidity, camouflage nets

Installation view at Berlin Biennale 8, Haus am Waldsee. Photograph by Anders Sune Berg.
Hot, humid air and a intense scent of a wood and plants, a feel like walking on forest soil, military camouflage nets covering the sapce and a very loud, bassy Soundtrack - those are some of the senses welcoming the visitor.
The two screen video work is showing long tracking shots of civilication, concrete, brutalism blocks, strict shapes and opposes this to tracking shots of alive and dead trees, soil, plants, the nature. Sometime they are opposing each other, sometimes not. The soundtrack was done together with composer Sascha Blank from Potsdam and director of
photography Nicolas Geissler is responsible for the images which were shot in forrest Taunus, Karlsruhe and Heidelberg.

UHT, 2013
Iinstallation with video and audio (4:36 Min.). Pipe elements, tv monitor, special focussed loudspeaker, plinth, mirror foil
Installation view at Städelschule Rundgang 2013, Frankfurt am Main
The film, named ‘Pipes‘ is looping and is shown in a very light room together with other works. Therefore a special loudspeaker, the ‘SoundTube‘ system is used to produce sound only in a very limited area. One could still hear the film‘s main
song ‘Down Under‘ by Australian band ‘Men at work‘ when entering the room, though without bass. It sounded a little bit
like workers who listen to radio music on a construction site nearby. Other elements of the film include Iranian foreign TV
program ‘Double Standards‘ with presenter Afshin Rattansi, a satirical show often making fun of Israel and the Western
world and images of an unknown tattooed man.

Pow Pow, 2015
Installation with video and audio (12 Min.). Two projectors, four speakers, grained paper
Film: https://vimeo.com/124671677
Installation view at Kulter A-Lab, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
“Pow Pow” was mostly shot in Canada on a four week journey by car. Some additional images have been shot in the Cornish village of St. Just in England. Paintings by Glasgow-based Thomas Cameron. The film is a two-channel film consisting of two screens. Often images span over both screens and then form something new; images that within the narration
of the film work on a more intuitive and emotional layer whose understanding over the course of time then forms intellectual graspable knowledge. Many images actually are artificial compositings.

Black box (schwarzer Raum), 2011
Installation (video, audio, Lego spaceship from 1978, acrylic domes, olfactic and tactile-kinesthetic influences, acoustic insultation, darkness, perfume)
Installation view, Rundgang der Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2011
For the installation a longish room (2m * 4m) was built from wood material. The walls, the ceiling and the floor were cased
with two layers: black Moleton and acoustic panels. Therefore it was almost soundproofed and made a smooth feeling
when stepping on the acoustic panel ground. It smecked intensly of sweet flowers (room scent concentrate). Most visitors
were afraid and cautious when entering the dark room. Objects like numerous threads and fabrics hanging from the ceiling forced the audience to keep their head down. On the left hand side of the room was something like a sculpture: a
video monitor laying in the floor, covered with a wooven fabric is the basis. On each sides of the monitor were white stones which formed the supports for a piece of transparent glass (2m *1m). Upon this were Lego ‘Space Police‘ officers
from 2011 and a space ship from 1978 under a acrylic dome which was illumnated from the coated video playing below.
Visitors were allowed to alter the officer‘s arrangement.
In the video images of a dying bumble-bee are mixed with personal footage. Together with the soundtrack - played back
at full volume - visitors told they felt disoriented and threatened by intense influences.

Corpus / Something, 2012
Biedermaier chair, lashing straps, gold and silver lacquer, pedestal
Installation view at Rundgang der Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
A reworked Biedermeier chair (from circa 1835, mainly Walnut tree, Southern Germany) is standing on a white and grey
pedestal (1,20 m*1,20m*45cm), a HMI daylight lamp (575 Watts) normally used on film sets, is focussed on the chair. Reworking was done with a master joiner from a small village called Altdorf in South Palatinate (Deutsche Weinstraße). Some
wooden parts have been cut off so that the straps could be directly attached on the bolster. The straps are lacquered with
real gold (24ct.) and silver lacquer. The result is anachronistical - late baroque grandiosity opposes the reversion to family
values and privacy established in the Biedermaier period, influencing the bourgeoisie until today.

morning of the opening day.
