Neue Zeiten (A new Era)

Neue Zeiten“ („A new Era“) speculates with a resign of the governement of „Aufstria“, a fictitious country in the middle of „The World“, which ran well with mainstream, right-wing conservative politics, but suddenly realized that this was no good. A new constitution is created, with love&peace as a central value. The new police force is thereafter called „Hippie Police“, due to its freedom of hairstyle and alternative outfit, smoking dope for concentrating on its tasks, and converting criminals into good citizens by endless discussions. Well, it all started with the idea of the satirical play „Die Neujahrsansprache des Bundeskünstlers“ (new year‘s speech of the Bundeskünstler), produced by the fictitious „Wegschau TV“, a „cell“ of the Bundeskünstler, who still promotes old-school right-wing ideas. I planned to air this „play“ already on 1.1.2018, to stand up against the new dreadful governement of my home country Austria, but time was too short. This was good in a way, as I had a year to think about it. And done so I then created „Neue Zeiten“ together with Sonjuschka – it was much fun and a pleasure to work with you, my luv!

Dream or Reality?

A windy night in a sleeping room. 6 persons are quietly sleeping, when one awakes suddenly. This causes the opposite person to also awake and approach the first one. A kiss is exchanged and more is to come. Was this all reality or just a dream?

This film originated from a puppet animation I did together with Judith Nebelsieck, Celina Krivanek, Alice Cimador and Edona Hani at kunstschule.wien in Vienna/Austria

Copyversum

Inspired by the work of Anna Vasof I wanted to work with machines to produce rhythm in images and sound. For a project at kunstschule.wien I chose the copy machine for this purpose. The copier is a milestone in automation of drawing that made possible to save an image and therefore create „overdubs“. Forthermore it sequentially produces copies similar to a film projector. And it can consecutively enlarge to form self-similar pattern …

The eternal wave

The Eternal Wave addresses cycles in life, on our planet and (possibly) in the universe itself. The wave is a fundamental representation of every cyclic process inherent to our world as we know it, from the small scale up to the ocean. This film shows my concept of an „eternal wave“ as an artist and should also be a statement for keeping our minds open to admiration.

Credits: Musically it relates to surf punk and garage of the late 60ies/early 70ies and I was influenced by the documentary „skateboard madness“ from 1980.

Slip of Control

Slip of Control resulted from a study of sounds and pattern in nature and contrast it with the sounds of the city. It tells a story of how mankind shaped the world and puts pressure on ecosystems. It also tells the story of how to ignite with passion, to loose one’s sense for reality, and finally loose control of the situation. It is about being unable to send back the spirits that were once awakened.

6 variations of church

This performance-like film describes rhythm in 6 variations, using archaic procedures to tell what it means to be human. The framework plays with the long tradition of religion, autocratic leadership models and ideas like grassroots democracy. I want to motivate people to reflect upon their life, their society and their role they play in it.
