ANNA ET ROBBIE
Video | dv | color | 1:30 | France | 2012
Un personnage en gros-plan fait face à un paysage sauvage, se dessinant au fur et à mesure derrière lui. Des spasmes le submergeront de plus en plus, jusqu`à le projeter dans la matière des lieux. La condition d`Anna et Robbie n`en est pas moins banale qu`ils sont denses et périssables.
Formé aux Beaux-Arts de 1999 à 2005, mes réalisations questionnent le corps et ses pratiques dans des installations-vidéo et vidéos expérimentales. Vidéaste indépendant, je confronte mon travail de recherche à d`autres disciplines artistiques (théâtre, musique, danse), ainsi qu`au contact de populations diverses (écoles, démarche participative, instituts d`études) et dans la volonté de lier création plastique et citoyenneté.

Solanus ad solana
Experimental video | dv | color | 1:11 | France | 2011
An on-board camera films in low-angle-shot and against the light a man putting up a struggle, fitted with his arm/tool.
Trained at the Beaux-Arts of Paris from 1999 to 2005, my works question the body and its practises in installation videos and experimental videos. As an independent video director, I confront my research to other artistic fields (theater, music, dance) as well as to the contact of various populations (schools, participative processes, studies institutes) and with the will to link plastic creation and citizenship.

Love Needs Time to Kill
Experimental fiction | 4k | color and b&w | 21:28 | Spain | 2020
The impetus to think how this project has been pulled to start from the end, is a symptom of the crisis of historical experience. As the seminaries in the Basque Country began to close, their pedagogical methods have been reduced to the imagination of several generations. "LOVE NEEDS TIME TO KILL" is about the emptiness distilled by the loss of what’s natural and cultural. Over recent decades Franciscan seminaries, along with those of other Orders, have been closing down across the Basque Country. With their closing, comes the loss of a pedagogy that has been a fundamental pillar in the education and identity of the Basque Country. Part of the pedagogical approach was to have large collections of plant and animal specimens, collected from missions in the American, African, and Asian colonies. This research project connects the identity of the diaspora in the missions and their forgotten pedagogical approach to the construction of an exotic and colonial imaginary. On the stage of a small theater in one of the closed seminaries, we have recreated a Baroque still-life scene from the 17th century. The still-life becomes a form of barricade, a gesture of struggle and resistance, in which the inert yet expressive bodies of the animals assert a sense of destiny and uncertainty that has accompanied us from the Romantic era through to present day.

U.N(INVERSE)
Animation | dv | color | 19:0 | Spain | 2010
U.N(Inverse) is a project that delves into mechanisms of historical complexity from tracks of fragmentation as questions of interpretation, narration and fiction that has surrounded the construction of the United Nations, specifically the architectural complex of the New York headquarters. Constant changes of reference models have taken me to the crossroads between the idealism of the moment and the symbolism, the architecture and the cinema, sharing the limelight at a time of collapse. In terms of architecture, the decongestion and suspension proposed by Le Corbusier compared to the ideological vacuum of Wallace (the architect in vogue at that time), the backdrop of the cinema in the middle of the Cold War and as now the UNO is surrounded by Hollywood stars to promote themselves abroad; in this way Peter Pan?s Tinkerbell is the new ambassadress of the United Nations.

Vivo Vision
VR 360 video | mp4 | color | 34:30 | Austria | 2024
The young Swiss economist Hans travels to Thailand with his mum to visit his grandmother in “Vita Bona”, a care home for European seniors. The facility has changed its name and is hard to find at first. When they finally arrive, it is completely different from what they expected: a perfectly styled wellness retreat for young people. While Hans indulges in the beauty of the place, Daniela wanders through the labyrinthine complex in search of her mother and observes strange occurrences. Where are the senior citizens? What is the manager Mrs. Vasall hiding behind her charming smile? This conceptual VR film is a dystopian parable about the outsourcing of care work, as produced by our neo-colonialist globalized economic system. “Vivo Vision” refers to a way of seeing that Ms. Vasall, the manager of the resort, has invented. Wellness retreat and retirement home are present in the same place, but without interfering with each other. While the young people practice yoga poses by the pool, the seniors and workers have been relocated to another, invisible level. “Vivo Vision” is a view of the world in which everything that is considered unproductive in a capitalist logic has become invisible.

Urban territories, districts are characterized by different social processes, business relationships, power relations, private affairs. We wonder how urban territories are formed and why they change? Who controls the city or how do the inhabitants create free spaces? Who owns the city?

Cities
Experimental fiction | 35mm | color and b&w | 27:0 | Germany | 2012
The theme of the film HIDDEN CITIES is personal urban perceptions, which we call »the city«. The city, as a living organism, reflecting social processes and interactions, economic relations, political conditions and private matters. In the city, human memories, desires and tragedies find expression in the form of designations and marks engraved in house walls and paving slabs. But what the city really is under this thick layer of signs, what it contains or conceals, is what we are researching in the HIDDEN CITIES project. The source material for the film are 9 sequential photo works created by Gusztáv Hámos between 1975 and 2010. Each of these »city perceptions« depicts essential situations of urban experiences containing human and inhuman acts in a compact form. The cities in which the photo sequences have been made are Berlin, Budapest and New York ? places with a traumatised past: Wars, dictatorships, terrorist catastrophes.

ND - Deutsches Neuland
Documentary | dv | color | 64:45 | Germany | 2004
Portrait d'un drôle de bâtiment situé à Berlin Est, et dans lequel la RDA continue à exister, 15 ans après la chute du Mur. Ce qui fut le siège de la rédaction du journal officiel de RDA, Neues Deutschland, est devenu un biotope unique, où d'éternels citoyens de RDA et des artistes branchés de la scène culturelle berlinoise cohabitent. Synopsis résumé 15 ans après la chute du Mur, il existe un lieu à Berlin où la RDA semble poursuivre son existence: un immense immeuble de béton sur le toit duquel on peut lire en grandes lettres "Neues Deutschland" (la nouvelle Allemagne)- le titre orgueilleux de ce qui fut le journal officiel du régime. Un biotope unique s'est créé à l'intérieur: quelques citoyens impérissables de RDA tiennent ici désespérément leur position, un ilôt de résistance en plein territoire ennemi. Mais de jeunes artistes ont aussi découvert le charme des pièces défraîchies. Dans les couloirs éclairés aux néons, on perçoit les basses de la musique électro, quand ce n'est pas un pianiste new yorkais qui joue des sonates de Schubert. Et puis il y a encore les anciens collaborateurs du journal, qui errent dans les vieux locaux, à la recherche d'une RDA avec laquelle ils pourraient enfin faire la paix. Un lieu symbolique pour cette nouvelle Allemagne dans laquelle on ne peut encore tirer de trait définitif sous le passé. Synopsis Dans la Rue de la Commune de Paris, dans la partie Est de la ville, derrière les voies ferrées de la Ostbahnhof, on trouve tel un navire échoué le bâtiment massif qui fut autrefois le palais des media de RDA. Sur le toit, les lettres de néon éteintes depuis longtemps forment encore les mots NEUES DEUTSCHLAND. Pendant des décennies, ce fut le quartier général de l'organe officiel de la RDA qui diffusait quotidiennement son flot de paroles idéologiques. A l'intérieur, le temps semble s'être arrêté. Un portiers des temps anciens règne sur le foyer, le passé continue à exister: dans l'odeur de linoleum, le monte-charges immobile, les corridors interminables éclairés par la lumière tremblotante des tubes néons. Au rez-de-chaussée, c'est le domaine de Walter Grenzebach, dernier collaborateur du journal présent dans les lieux, toujours chargé des "relations publiques". Walter vit au jour le jour le déclin de son empire. Au deuxième étage, une clique de jeunes créteurs s'est appropriée les bureaux de la direction, autrefois sévèrement surveillés. Dans les couloirs, on entend maintenant de la musique, dans la grande salle de rédaction, un certain "Herr Schneider" vend du matériel pour DJs. Un des bureaux est devenu un studio de films d'animation. La réalisatrice, Katrin Rothe, a longtemps hésité avant de s'installer là. Les esprits du passé sont trop présents pour elle, toutes ces silhouettes grises qui ont rendu la vie en RDA insupportable. Mais c'est ici qu'elle développe maintenant un sentiment d'appartenance _ au pays disparu de son enfance. Ce qui pour les uns est une location branchée, où l'on peut laisser libre cours à sa créativité derrière les murs joliment décrépis d'un régime disparu, est pour les anciens collaborateurs le lieu où s'effectue toujours, 15 ans après, un douloureux travail de mémoire. Ils sont loin d'avoir fait la paix avec cet Etat, s'en prennent à eux-mêmes et au rôle qu'ils ont joué. Le film documentaire est le portrait d'un étrange "entre-deux", où il ne reste de la RDA que des fins de série et des néons jaunes qui éclairent ceux qui se sont construit leurs petits "empires" dans les espaces devenus vacants. Ca n'est plus "Neues Deutschland", mais "Deutsches Neuland", un nouveau territoire allemand indéfinissable, un lieu symbolique pour un pays dont le passé est loin d'avoir été surmonté. Un des lieux menacés de "rénovation" et ainsi condamnés à disparaître bientôt, où pourtant l'histoire est palpable dans la concomitance du passé et du présent.

Seth Price
Digital Video Effect: Editions
Experimental video | dv | color | 12:0 | USA | 2006
"Digital Video Effect: Editions", was created and released into distribution as one work in a solo exhibition that Seth Price held simultaneously at Friedrich Petzel Gallery, Reena Spaulings Fine Art, and Electronic Arts Intermix in New York in September 2006. The video serves as a sampler of Price's editioned videos to date, all of which have been sold through galleries. Here fragments of sound and image from the editions have been brought together, forming a montage that provides access to these publicly unavailable artworks. Price juxtaposes disparate authors, editing strategies, and histories, yielding a work in the essay-film tradition that communicates an inquiring, critical sensibility.
Seth Price's multi-disciplinary art practice has gained an international following. In conceptual works that include video, sculpture, sound, and written texts, Price engages in strategies of appropriation, recirculation, and packaging to consider issues of cultural production, the distribution of information, and the role of ideology. Shifting and manipulating the detritus of commodity culture, his projects have included early sampler-based academic music, anonymous internet-circulated video, and art historical imagery. Investigating the cultures generated and re-circulated by mass media technologies and information systems, Price ultimately questions the production and dissemination of art and meaning itself. Price is a member of the Continuous Project collective, which since 2003 has reprinted and disseminated seminal art texts and magazines, including the first issue of Avalanche in 1970. "Dispersion", Price's well-circulated, illustrated manifesto on art, media, reproduction, and distribution systems, was designed in 2001/02 for the catalogue of the Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic Art, and later published as an artist's book.

Wege [paths]
Experimental video | 0 | color | 4:27 | Germany, Australia | 2004
Hannah Leonie Prinzler?s work »Wege [paths]« investigates the relation of the real and the virtual in touristic landscapes. The paths and the camera offer an organised way of navigating through the landscape but deny any form of deviation from it. Emphasized by the ?flat 3D? montage technique the landscape is revealed as a mere scenery, existing only from the perspective of the path. Thus the ambivalence of the term?sight? is disclosed as something both ?real? but only existing for and from a spectator?s view.
Hannah Leonie Prinzler was born in Berlin in 1980. Since 2000 she has been studying Media Arts at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany, and at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, Australia (2003/04), with a focus on sound and video installation. Her works have been exhibited at the »backup_festival« Weimar 2001, the »European Media ArtsFestival« Osnabrück 2002, the »Inventionen Festival für Neue Musik« Berlin 2002, the »Viper Festival Basel« 2004, »sonar festival« Barcelona 2005 and other events.

Give 'em Hell
Experimental doc. | hdv | color | 4:40 | Macedonia, United Kingdom | 2010
The banner slogans represented in the video are: Stop the deportation, We are all foreigners, Stop war against Immigrants, Stop criminalising Immigrants, No worker is Illegal and Rights for foreigners. During the course of several days, the artist positioned protest banners on the streets of London and secretly recorded the unfolding scene with a hidden camera from the opposite side of the street. The video ?Give ?em Hell? shows a spontaneous action by a group of youngsters, who express their anger toward and mistrust of immigrants, by smashing the series of protest banners, the texts and slogans of which support immigration and the notion of equal human rights for all. The disturbing, violent scene in ?Give ?em Hell? is slowed-down and accompanied with music by Ludwig van Beethoven, as a reference to the aestheticised violence of science fiction film ?A Clockwork Orange? by Stanley Kubrick?s. Kubrick claims that ?A Clockwork Orange? achieves to represent a possible reality and it is not only a fiction (science fiction). Taking this as its point of departure, ?Give ?Em Hell? questions the representation of the violence in a manner similar to the way in which Kubrick addresses this issue.

Lilly Project
Video installation | dv | color | 7:18 | Serbia | 2007
Dominant principles of establishment, when it comes to public space in our environment, represent the space mostly scheduled for specific gender only. Starting with separated public toilet premises to betting places, large beauty shops and saloons? Entering post socialistic era and losing of formed national identity have brought comeback of traditional values of patriarchal system in which all relationships are placed in special hierarchy. That state is additionally enhanced by arrival of large corporate systems (capitalism) which logic of permanent market expansion erased this hierarchy to some extent but contributed its additional alienation. Lilly Project represents an action in which at one point 200 man performed unannounced guerilla invasion into the largest beauty shop in Belgrade- Lilly. This literal and not metaphoric performance of ?patriarchal?, ?male? behavior- which is based on assumption that He has the right to occupy any space or person by all means, with or without permission (standpoint that is mostly unique to individuals raised as man)- exists as an example of pure form of protest by which the distance that suspends normal, utilitarian and social process is marked. On the other hand, the fact that performers of the action agreed to participate in project on condition to be paid - carrying out of particular behavior that in our surrounding can be seen as sexually ?wrong?- indicates exclusively material determination of acceptable behavior limits and mechanism to determine some of the most vital human identity aspects (such as sexual) in capitalistic society.

Video | dv | color | 0:40 | Serbia | 2010
Work is made by photo-montage and digital manipulation of images and quotations from numerous sources and formally reminds to an old newspaper. Modernistic representations of myths and utopias are here converted into a present context. Layered meanings shape a nonlinear narrative, reflecting upon popular culture, consumerism and globalization.
Graduated in painting at Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 2004.

Towards the Bank of the Future
Experimental fiction | hdv | color | 7:38 | Greece | 2013
"Towards the Bank of the Future" observes and engages with two conceptual axes. The first axis derives from the analysis of Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics, where Aristotle presents the problematic of a definition of the "work of man". In the same way that Aristotle sets the work of man in motion, this form of a life that is activated by the operation of Logos, Cavafys repositions life, or a form of life at least, in the sphere of History, a history of action, an action beyond a simple livelihood (ζῆν). At this exact point, the work focuses on the second axis, on the concept of historicity, thus the specific position and use of History in the work of Cavafys. The poet frequently narrates in his works, of a man who is historically located either in the classical or the modern times.The above element is the one that transforms the work of Cavafys to a significant moment of modernity in poetry. The displaced historicity of the form, where the atemporal collides with the historical.

Towards the production of Dialogues On The Market Of Bronze and Other Precious Materials
Experimental fiction | 0 | color | 16:0 | Greece | 2013
The video installation “Towards the production of Dialogues On The Market Of Bronze and Other Precious Materials” has as a starting point of reference Bertolt Brecht’s The Messingkauf Dialogues, a theoretical work in a dialectical form that dates back to 1939 and was written in four different versions in a period of four years but remained incomplete. The work situates a reinterpreted version of Brecht’s work, connected to the socio-economic circumstances regarding contemporary society and the implications that these may cause, in the structures of a monetary policy, and its reverberations in the cultural sphere. Based on Brecht’s four nights’ structure the artist aims to provoke correlations regarding two structures, the structure of politics and the structure of finance using their architectural form and specificities as a visual starting point. The work motivates the viewer to contemplate all the above elements in a manner that the aesthetic experience of viewing it produces a platform for the critical engagement of the spectator with the socio-political signifiers that are presented. Theo Prodromidis’s video installation has a specific social context, to collective and private experiences as a consequence of politico-economic and political-cultural locations that are densified in a narrativized, critical and poetic process.

Fireworks on the Swamp
Video | 0 | color | 6:40 | Russia | 2020
- Why do you want to blow fireworks on a swamp? - Well, I want it to happen in reality. There was fireworks on the swamp, that's for sure. The intensity of what is happening is so high that the consciousness does not have time to deconstruct the image of this event. Once the smoke dissipates, we can talk about interpretation field. But this is not so important, because it consists only of versions of reality and their totality does not give us a complete picture. It is important to live directly in the experience, where absolute reality can be revealed.
