Concrete Film



The frames of the built body show an artificial landscape isolated from its surroundings. The view of the architecture is focused on individual components, details come to the fore. A facade is cut and altered. After a certain time, perspectives of the filmed object reveal the surroundings through their reflection and framing; in this sense, a connection between the extiroir and the facade is created, focusing on the merging of the non-artifical and the built structures.

Matter in Place 



Composing Material and place, artificial landscapes and the nature of their structure. Every tool leaves it's traces, every stone has its composition. Each copy/removal/ impression/recording has its own surface, which is revealed through its particular textures. Time and place are recomposed through the manipulation of certain fragments. The surface detaches itself from it's surrounding and is determined by the overlapping of the textures as well as the materiality.

Earth Water Motor Series

EWM1

Topology of a Tyrolean mountain landscape in a 16mm triple projection. The audio-visual as well as the auto-mobile machine traverse and transcend the valley from Boden to Bschlabs. The film was made during a residency at the Tyrolean Bschlabertal and reflects the topology of an abandoned place as well as the conditions of its own creation. A darkroom was built in the old elementary school, film strips were hung to dry in the classrooms and then projected in a self-built cinema in an old shed. The images were filmed on print material with a Bolex camera, they are thus raw and multilayered like the valley, created by manual labor as it is still the basis of everyday existence in the Bschlabertal.

EWM 2







Cutting through landscapes with the machine. 
Destroying the postcard images of places we know. Part two of the three-part Earth Water Motor series is filmed on soundstock with a 16mm Bolex, hand developed and edited in-camera. The film music is composed with an analogue synthesizer. Beginning in Bschabertal the series finds its continuation in Krumpendorf
