Systemic est une installation monumentale interactive in situ qui consiste en la relecture d`un lieu public existant par la vidéoprojection sur ses espaces architecturaux d`une population de vecteurs-flèches blancs extrêmement dynamiques qu`ils habitent ainsi, et qui incarnent les forces invisibles à l`oeuvre au sein des structures du bâtiment. Sensibles aux humains qui y passent, ils réinterprètent aussi les forces de mouvement et d`intention autour et entre des visiteurs, et entre les visiteurs et le bâtiment. Très fluides, dynamiques, autonomes, dotés de comportement individuels et de groupe, ces vecteurs-forces procèdent par attraction, répulsion, curiosité, ennui, désir, volonté propre et psychologie de foule. Grouillants, ils habitent le sol, les mur, le plafond du lieu, qu`ils considèrent comme leur territoire et dont ils connaissent les moindres recoins sur lesquels ils glissent et se frottent de manière physique. Systemic s`inscrit dans une approche artistique personnelle commencée il y a 15 ans et focalisée sur la plastique des forces à l`oeuvre, et dans un processus général de confrontation de cette approche avec des champs de création traditionnels tels la musique, la danse ou l`architecture.

Artiste plasticien, Antoine Schmitt crée des oeuvres sous forme d?objets, d?installations ou de situations à l?esthétique minimale et radicale, pour traiter de la notion de mouvement propre, en tant que forme et en tant que point de vue. Héritier de l?art cinétique et de l?art cybernétique, nourri de science-fiction dans sa dimension philosophique, il révèle et manipule littéralement les forces à l?oeuvre, pour questionner les modalités de l`être libre au sein de systèmes de réalité complexes. Son travail a reçu plusieurs prix dans des festivals internationaux, parmi lesquels transmediale.07 (deuxième prix 2007) et Ars Electronica (deuxième prix 2009). Il a été exposé entre autres au Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), à Sonar (Barcelone), au CIAC de Sienne (Italie) et dans plusieurs Nuits Blanches (Paris, Bruxelles, Madrid, Metz, Amiens). Il fait partie des collections de l?Espace Gantner (Bourogne, FR) et du fond Digitalarti (Paris, FR).

QUÍTAME LA SAL DE ENCIMA (original Spanish title) The video installation QUÍTAME LA SAL DE ENCIMA (englisch TAKE THE SALT OFF ME) takes a part in a group of works with called „MUNDO POR DELANTE - EL FUTURO NO ES NUESTRO“ which contains photographs, objects and video: THE WORLD AHEAD - The future is not ours; tales of anguish and perhaps some hopes... "And the day arrived that Ikú, the Death, after throwing down so many heads, got tired and did not want to knock down one more. So he went to see Olofi, the Creator, at his foam palace, giving him back his scepter of bone and dried flowers, he said: - „Agé Babá Olofi, since you invented the world and things, I am the one who keeps the last rest of your creatures. Even so, nobody thanks me, and to be honest, I?m tired of everyone running away from me, so I entrust that job to someone else.“ And without letting Olofi reply, he climbed to the top of a mountain and there ecstatic by the contemplation of nature, Ikú forgot the world. At first the Creator did not worry too much about the decision of the Death: „It will not be difficult for someone else to take his place," he told himself. But later he understood that he was wrong ... (Patakí - mythical Afrocuban parables of Yoruba origin) ___________SYNOPSIS - QUÍTAME LA SAL DE ENCIMA Blackout in Havana - Life in the eye of the cyclone ... At the first level, the video deals inductively with the effects of global climate change in the microcosm of everyday life. But basically it's a metaphor that seems to be exposed to circumstances that seem to be beyond our control. ___________KEYFACTS about CITA ME LA SAL DE ENCIMA Installation / video / documentary / dystopia / La Habana, Cuba / Spanish with english subtitles / Cuba 2020 / part of the ongoing exhibition project „MUNDO POR DELANTE“ / 2K / color / unpublished / Video is presented in the exhibition as a loop director & camera: Kirstin Schmitt producer: SAILOR´S YARN collective, Maren Schmitt & Kirstin Schmitt

She captures everyday life miniatures, which she understands as confession of how we are dealing with meaning and meaninglessness of life. Characteristics of her work are the use of the environment as manifestations of inner landscapes and intimate encounters with the strength and vulnerability of her protagonists who often seem to have a presentiment of something, yet it still isn't tangible. Her award-winning photographs (1 place Sony Award, 1place IPA Awards, USA, Px3 etc.) and moving-images have been exhibited internationally at art fairs and festivals (Art Basel Miami-Scop art show, Somerset house London, Shanghai International Film Festival, Dok-Leipzig, SIPF-Singapore international photography festival etc.). She had solo- and collective exhibitions in both Americas, Africa Asia and Europa. Her work got published in a variety of international press like TimeLightbox, the guardian, Spiegel, Zeit online, Huffington Post etc.

Mercury Black Magic is a meditation on being young and restless. A young man transfers his grief into the reconstruction of a 1980’s muscle car. His description of this restoration parallels the coming to terms with the emotions related to the loss of his father. This piece follows him through the landscape in which he and his friends hangout, together. This work is created amongst the young people of Salina, Kansas. They were hanging out at lookouts, parking spaces, and park shelters, doing seemingly nothing, but to them (and me) everything: listening to music, gossiping, relaxing, being. These moments are often described as nothing or as boredom or as inconsequential, but these are the moments with the most potential. Maybe these instances will not be recounted or thought of as memorable but, to me these moments feel the most intense. Before there is time for reflection these times are over, exhausted without ceremony. This is less a full understanding of a place, but my impression, a trace of a series of moments or an attempt to understand the world. This is an attempt to make something with the participation of the young people I met in Salina.

‘Green Storm’ depicts actors and filmmakers rehearsing scenes in a tree nursery situated at the edge of the desert in Egypt. The film’s location is a metaphor for a traditional green screen studio. ‘Green screens’ are primarily used in filmmaking to replace or remove specific backgrounds. While filming in green screen studios, actors can’t directly interact with their surroundings; the consequences of their actions become evident only in post-production. In the film, the ‘green screen’ metaphor is a critique of our relation to nature - one where we don’t immediately see or understand the impact of our interactions. Today, the lush greenery serves as a backdrop of political discourse. This film explores the uncanny green connection to examine the politics of screening and greening. Between natural disaster films announcing dramatic upheavals and the shocking announcement of current climate scientists, the boundaries have become very blurry.

The collectif_fact comprised Annelore Schneider and Claude Piguet. They live and work between London and Geneva. Their projects, mainly video based, are often a deconstruction of what we see as cinematic codes within our visual culture. They are fascinated with the daily repetition, stereotypes and clichés that suffuse our popular culture. They deal mainly with aspects of (anti)spectacle, simulacra, and appropriation. To do so, they investigate the ways that narrative can be appropriated, disrupted, and re-edited to construct different stories and alternative meanings. Their videos frequently use the spectator’s ability to construct stories from ruptured narrative fragments. In fact, their videos weave together a complex mesh of references: fragments of dialogues, citations, and music extracts. A collage of recognizable, familiar images with a multitude of allusions to cinema classics. Collectif_fact play with our desire to be gripped and even deceived by images and stories. By creating works that appropriate cinematic codes and strategies, they encourage the viewer to reflect critically on the habits that condition our perceptions of reality. The artists are represented by Wilde Gallery, Geneva www.collectif-fact.ch

In this speculative fiction, all the world’s photographs have suddenly turned into the objects they represent. The video “White Shadow” depicts a vertiginous architecture, so devastating that it created new uncontrollable borders and isolated people. Piles of selfies, cats, and meals are scattered everywhere. Text messages evoke a new society living with limitations and suffering from media saturation, sensory overload, and crushing ecological impact. A world where images have taken over, invading and transforming space. They become the only reality that is still visible, as the whole world is turning inwards.

?A Weekend at the Beach, w. Jean-Luc Godard? Del Mar, Calif., USA 1978/1984/2009, 10min. with Godard, Wim Wenders, Heiner Müller and others. In 1978 I shared a house with Jean Pierre Gorin on the beach in Del Mar, California. We were both professors at the University of California, San Diego. Gorin once worked with Godard on a film and invited him to give a lecture at our school. Godard came and stayed at our house. Other filmworld & creative people came to hear Godard. They also stayed at our house. Among them Wim Wenders, Heiner Müller and Jim McBride. I videotaped some of our time at our house on the pacific ocean beach. By 1984 friends who saw it pressured me to make the tape public. Shortly before I edited it, I had seen some Godard political/very wordy films which I couldn?t stand. I therefore spoke a rather cynical narration. In 2009 I was asked to include an introductory verbal statement explaining the above & the sarcastic tone of the ?A Weekend at the Beach, w.

« More or Less Related Incidents in Recent History » a commencé en 1968, comme un film sur la peinture d'une boutique de Greenwich Village, à Manhattan, New York, et sur la scène qui gravitait autour d?elle. Le film fait ressortir le contraste entre l'actualité de la guerre du Viet Nam et le monde de la mode de la fin des années 1960. L?artiste a filmé les séquences Rock?n?Roll en 1967 et 1968. Le quartier original de Greenwich Village a été filmé en 1976 et 2004. L?auteur a récupéré une vidéo d?Abbie Hoffman tournée en 1969 et inclue quelques images de George W. Bush dans la dernière édition de juin 2008 réalisée pour Berlin. Tout au long du film, l?auteur confronte la notion de guerre lointaine avec les préoccupations bourgeoises de la vie de tous les jours dans les pays relativement à l'abri.

Ira Schneider est né à New York en 1939 et vit actuellement à Berlin.

Dans un salon, une caméra tourne lentement sur elle-même, à environ trente centimètres du tapis. On ne voit personne dans la pièce. Un chat apparaît subitement et quelques instant plus tard, un autre entre dans la pièce. Un chien boit l?eau d?un petit aquarium, un oiseau se joint à la compagnie, un lapin arrive en sautillant, une oie se fraie un chemin parmi eux, un cochon fouine quelque part, une chèvre, un lama, il n?y a pas de fin. Petit à petit, la pièce se remplit de plus en plus d?animaux qui se reniflent entre eux, qui se font sursauter entre eux ou bien qui mangent une plante verte ensemble. Dans l?introduction de ?Living a Beautiful Life? (2003), une des ?uvres précédentes de Corinna Schnitt, on voyait toute sorte d?enfants très jeunes assis, allongés, en train de marcher ou de jouer ensemble nus, dans un paysage idyllique. L?association romantique ou religieuse avec un monde primitif dans lequel les créatures auraient autrefois coexisté vient également de ?Once Upon a Time.? L?habitat naturel dans lequel ces animaux vivaient autrefois a été remplacé par l?intérieur d?une maison. Est-ce que le mot ?naturel? a toujours une signification lorsqu?on parle d?animaux qui, dans notre culture, ont pratiquement tous été domestiqués ? Ils ne sont plus que des animaux de compagnie et des animaux domestiques, et sont dons en quelque sorte à leur place ici. Comme c?est souvent le cas dans le travail de Schnitt, là encore, elle semble parler de la qualité artificielle et névropathe du comportement humain et du contraste problématique entre ?nature? et ?culture?. Bien que l?Homme soit absent de cette ?uvre, dans cette absence, il fait tout de même partie de la représentation. L?observation de ces animaux, qu?on ne trouvera pas souvent dans ce genre de décors, nous amène à réfléchir sur le comportement que l?on pourrait avoir dans ce genre de pièce.

Corinna Schnitt est née en 1964. Artiste et réalisatrice, elle évolue dans le milieu artistique tant sur la scène allemande qu'internationale. Après un apprentissage de sculpture sur bois, elle étudie à la Hochschule für Gestaltung à Offenbach et à la Kunstakademie de Düsseldorf. Depuis de nombreuses années elle a recours au médium cinématographique pour ses créations artistiques. Elle a ainsi réalisé une série de court-métrages expérimentaux dans lesquels des phénomènes quotidiens sont poussés jusqu?à l?absurde telle une spirale sans fin, comme en témoigne Raus aus seinen Kleidern. Outre de nombreuses installations vidéo projetées dans des musées et des galeries, Corinna dévoile ses travaux dans le cadre de festivals de films ainsi qu?à la télévision allemande.

Eight protagonists distributed over Marls central Rathausplatz in front of the Skulpturenmuseum use megaphones to call out everyday phrases to each other as if they were carrying out a conversation: “ Do you think he will have won the Lotto ” or “ You will have told me much about your experiences“. Formulated in future perfect, these shouts play with the expectation that certain events will have happend by a certain time in the future. This construction has a distancing effect on the here and now and on the ease of normal everyday conversation, showing the extent to which a present experience is determined by expectations of the future. The use of megaphones seems antiquated today and thus deals ironically with present-day forms of communication. Like on the Web, banal experiences from one`s own life are communicated to an imaginary public without controls or personal contact. Marl`s Rathausplatz and the Skulpturenmuseum were constructed in the 1970s and document the city`structural rebirth, carried out with the goal of turning the urban core into a vibrant place and optimally combining diverse functions. Previously regarded as amuch lauded model solution, it is now obvious that the utopian promise of a city that radically deviates from traditional urban structures has not been fulfilled in the long run.

Born in Duisburg, Germany, lives and works in Braunschweig. From 1986 to 1989 apprenticeship as a carver (diploma), Michelstadt, from 1989 to 1996 studies at the Hochschule für Gestaltung (Academy for Visual Communication), Offenbach, as well as at the Kunstakademie (Art Academy) in Düsseldorf (1995 Masterstudent). Since 2009 Professor for Film/Video at the University of Art Braunschweig.

In a single shot the film shows different time-periods and creates a fairytaile atmosphere. A stillife is presented in an outside garden in front of a modern architecture, that has a fake- wooden-outside design.The paradox longing for both experiencing adventure and wanting to feel at home is part of the children-song.

Dans « Von einer Welt » (« À propos d'un monde »), le monde est un idyllique paysage alpin fait de forêts et de prairies. Un homme traverse à grandes enjambées ce paysage, seul, puis, dans la scène suivante, se tient debout sur une prairie, entouré d?une douzaine de femmes nues, couchées dans l'herbe haute ; chacune d?entre elles est drapée. L'homme approche toutes les femmes une à une, tantôt tendrement, tantôt de façon plus ouverte. Ses tentatives de rentrer en contact avec elles restent cependant vaines et ne produisent absolument aucune réaction. Les femmes semblent désormais faire partie de la nature, comme si elles venaient « d'un autre monde ». Avec des dispositifs de mise en scène minimalistes, l'artiste ouvre un débat sur les formes d?aphasie entre les sexes, entre le corps et l'intellect, entre l'émotionnel et le rationnel, entre nature et culture, entre un monde et l?autre.

Corinna Schnitt est née à Duisburg (Allemage) et a étudié l'art et le cinéma à l'Université des Communications Visuelles d?Offenbach ainsi qu?à l?Académie d?Art de Düsseldorf.

Deep Interview represents a conversational situation : not based on identities, but comparing different language systems. The subject of the conversation is going to emerge due to asking questions taken from two different (complementary) contexts: the one mirroring the systemic "need" for monitoring the need for a picture of the EU borders, the other focussing on corresponding unmonitored substances, the needs and perspectives of asylum seekers. The origin of the video is the plot of a performance based on asking questions and dedicated to practices of (machine-like) monitoring. The origin of the performance plot is a particular text technique suitable technique for unpleasant objects of investigation, which treats them as very literally. Of the so-called deep interview we only experience the questions. On a more abstract, level Deep Interview enbodies the desire to treat (and deconstruct) the law and its both argumentative and operational logic as an image, shaped in order to define phenomena and entities to be managed.

Part of the artistic production methods of the media artist Susanna Schoenberg are experimental videos and video installations, public actions and camera setups. Her media practise focuses on the idea of emergence (of reality and forms of reality), intermediality and the techno-image. The contingent waiving of technical and conceptual control can be part of her "realistic" (image giving) strategy. In the last years she has been producing works explicitly dedicated to (machine-like) monitoring, in particular of the monitoring of the European borders.

Le plus long parking d?Allemagne utilisé comme métaphore métrique de l?histoire de la pensée ; une silhouette masquée qui court après son moi utilisée comme métaphore de la souveraineté du sujet ; les geste futiles de la mégère qui n?évolue pas et continue à n?en faire qu?à sa tête.

Susanna Schoenberg est née en 1967 en Italie et a grandi à Bolzano, ou Bozen en allemand. Elle a vécu et étudié à Milan mais s?est souvent rendue à Berlin. Depuis 1999, elle habite à Cologne en Allemagne. Elle a étudié les sciences sociales, les techniques cinématographiques et les arts médiatiques. Depuis 1990, ses productions artistiques sont principalement centrées sur la vidéo, la photographie et les installations. Dans sa production artistique, elle se concentre notamment sur les arts en rapport avec les media et plus particulièrement sur les installations pilotées par ordinateur ; la vidéo expérimentale ; le documentaire et la photographie.

Two giants that exist here - a German fairy tale confronts us with the right-wing spiritual movement in Germany, which gained a strong following during the COVID-19 pandemic. In symbolic encounters, such as a train ride passing by the Lorelei, underscored by Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, original audio recordings from the scene of right-wing extremist conspiracy are juxtaposed with the visual aesthetics of German fairy tales. In reference to Grimm's "Hansel and Gretel," the film explores the unsettling transformation from innocent belief in gnomes and fairies into the dangerous realm of belief in a Jewish world conspiracy. The question arises whether the comforting spiritualism is merely a Trojan horse for an anti-Semitic, racist, and misogynistic worldview.

Micki rides across the night through a palm forest. With the quiet and the loneliness, the repressed heartbreak pushes to the surface and Cassi becomes real. Like two homopolar magnets charged with their tangled traumas, they fail to find each other this time once again. But at dawn the wounds heal. Cassi disappears and the last video is deleted. But you can't force goodbyes, because feelings are real.

While the turbulence that led to the European financial crisis in 2011 raged, a new skyscraper was built for the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. This film was realised using super 8 footage taken over a year observing said construction site. Notions of time and crisis are expressed in the titles of the three chapters: “Exchange rate”, “Slow motion" and "Stills". And more characters appear in this 7-minute-long experimental film in the final chapter "credits. To conclude, atop a golden dome of the shells of towers, a Greek flag flies high.

The demise of the `Palace of the Republic` in Berlin, at sunset. This is a portrait of a powerful symbol of nostalgia for the GDR that was re-used, restored and then, eventually, demolished, becoming a changing, magical emblem of the new centre of the city. The last glimpses of its `skeleton` evoke thought-provoking experiences: the last bits of stairwells are reminiscent of other images of ruins, such as Berlin in the 1940s, when it was a bombed-out city, or of the World Trade Center in New York. It also conjures notions of the Romantic era in the 17th and 18th centuries, when ruins where expressly built. "GRUNSKE" is, in an odd way, the name of the sculptor responsible for this accidental monument: it`s the name of a company that recycles metal. Over the course of months, their machinery carried out the contract of dismantling the Palace, for the public good in a public space.

Sabine Schöbel was born in 1962. She works in architecture/design, set design, and film studies. Her first film, LUPINEN LÖSCHEN, premiered in 2007 at Forum expanded. Presently she is managing director at Arbeitskreis Film Regensburg / Regensburger Kurzfilmwoche.

"Lupinen löschen" montre à la fois la beauté et le caractère effrayant d'un petit incident pas tout à fait banal: des bouteilles de vin rouge tombent et volent en éclat. Elles font de superbes taches rouges sur le parquet blanc. Et celles-ci reflètent la lumière provenant des fenêtres. La caméra effectue ensuite un travelling arrière très lent en filmant d'abord le sol, puis les fenêtres, le stuc du plafond, la tapisserie, puis revient au parquet et aux deux fenêtres. D'un seul coup, le sol devient propre et les taches se retrouvent dehors, non plus à l'intérieur. Cette oeuvre se refuse à toute interprétation clairement définie. Elle répète une expérience qui s'étire entre cette manière langoureuse de filmer le quotidien, la lumière et le mouvement, et les images, pleines de significations de l'horreur et du malheur différentes. Selon Sabine Schöbel, "Lupinen löschen" reste, en dehors de ce 'jeu' des apparences, la réalisation dans l'espace du souvenir et de la mémoire.

Sabine Schöbel est née à Bayreuth. Elle a étudié à Ratisbonne, Grenade, Madrid, Francfort-sur-le-Main et Potsdam. Elle a obtenu sa thèse sur le théâtre, le cinéma et les médias à l'université de Francfort. Elle oeuvre dans les domaines de l'architecture/design, de la mise en scène et de la cinématographie: elle a par exemple travaillé en tant que collaboratrice scientifique dans le département de sciences des médias de l'université de Paderborn (2003-2005) et assistante de la mise en scène pour le film "Herr Lehman" (Allemagne, 2002). Parmi ses réalisations personnelles figurent les lumières de la villa Tiedke à Potsdam (2003), le projet pour la maison Claudia Heser à Warmensteinach (réalisé en 2005) ainsi que le projet de mise en scène et de préparation pour le jeu télévisé 'Die Überflüssigen' (ZDF 2006). "Lupinen löschen" est son premier film.

The Richest Family; The Early Episodes is a project by artist Floris Schönfeld in collaboration with Frank Chu. At the center of The Richest Family; The Early Episodes is the internal world of Frank Chu, intergalactic movie star and well-known San Francisco Bay Area protestor. Frank believes that he is the victim of an intergalactic conspiracy that is based around him being the star of a popular television sitcom called The Richest Family. This show features him and his family and is recorded without his consent and broadcast to huge audiences in a number of alternate galaxies known as the 12 Galaxies. He can often be found at large public demonstrations in the San Francisco Bay Area protesting for impeachment of various public figures who he sees as complicit in this conspiracy. For the work The Richest Family; The Early Episodes two bootleg episodes of the television show The Richest Family were made. As well as staring in the episodes Frank was instrumental in the co-directing, and scripting of the pieces together with artist Floris Schönfeld. The Richest Family; The Early Episodes will be the first episodes of The Richest Family to be seen on Earth that have Frank?s full consent.

Frank Chu (b. 1960, Oakland, California, US; based in Oakland) is a professional protester and intergalactic television and movie star. He studied Business Administration at the University of California, Berkeley; California State University, Hayward; Merritt College, Oakland; and Laney College, Oakland, before receiving an Associate?s Degree in Business Administration from The College of Alameda, California, US. Since 1998, Chu has presented his ongoing series of signs in daily protests throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. His work is the subject of "Jretdrostrenikal Exhibitions", an ongoing and undefined solo exhibition at Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp (2012-ongoing); and he has recently participated in group exhibitions including "Portable Holes", San Francisco Pavilion, 9th Shanghai Biennale, China (2012); "Sõida tasa üle silla (Ride gently over the bridge)", Galerii Noorus, ART IST KUKU NU UT Festival, Tartu, Estonia (2012); and "Psymulation: Reenactments of the Present", Photo Epicenter, San Francisco, US (2008). Floris Schönfeld (1982) is a visual artist currently based in London and San Francisco. He works mainly with film and performance. The focus of his work in the last years has been the relationship between fiction and belief. In his work he is constantly trying to find the line between defining his context and being defined by it. In 2010, Floris completed the multi-disciplinary project ?u? in which he reconstructed the first ever authentic Klingon opera on Earth and made the film The QiH Act based on the performance of the opera for an entirely Klingon audience. In 2011, he made the film Discours de Fou as part of the International Ghetto Biennale in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and in 2012 he was commissioned to make work for the San Francisco Pavilion at the 12th International Shanghai Biennale. Schönfeld?s work has been shown at many film festivals and intsitutions throughout the world including the Amsterdam Film Biennale, Rencontres International Paris/Madrid/Berlin, the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, the Kassel Documentary & Film Festival (where it was nominated for the A38-Prodcution Grant) and the Kadist Foundation in San Francisco. Floris is currently a graduate fellow at the Headlands Center for the Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Weight is a series of short films that are each based on different excerpts from literature. The selected excerpts served as the scenario for the films, and demonstrate the moments of subtle tension that precede a significant event in the plot. A search for the moment, and for the physical state of the decision making. Removed from the context of the original story these excerpts are enigmatic, but retain the same tension inherent to their former position. As they start to interact on a suggestive level a new, highly tense, charged story emerges. The project strives to convey the `weight` of the moments without the context of their original narratives. The series currently consists of four films; 1. Oracle Night based on Oracle Night by Paul Auster 2. Miso Soup based on In the Miso Soup by Rui Murakami 3. End of the World based on Hard-boiled wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami 4. The Outsider based on The Outsider by Albert Camus

Le monde est ce que le bruit est: le motif central de ?Scope? est le haut-parleur sur des pylônes, dans les halls des gares, sur les toits, dans les autoradios, dans les radios de salon, dans les écouteurs, les combinés téléphoniques ou dans les postes émetteurs-récepteurs. On n?aperçoit les auditeurs que dans les coupes ou dans les flous. Les haut-parleurs diffusent des montages de tons et de sons, morceaux incompréhensibles de communication, des musiques déformées, des annonces et des ondes brouillées. Volker Schreiner prête au bruit général et tout contemporain, que l?on ne perçoit plus depuis longtemps en raison de son omniprésence dans le monde moderne, une voix nouvelle, autre, oubliée.

Des salons froidement éclairés par l'écran blanc d'une télévision sont des présages familiers d'une apocalypse approchante dans la plupart des films. Dans Cell c'est justement cet element troublant qui est étudié à la loupe. Un montage de multiples fragments d'écran couvert de cette neige vascillante tirés de films hollywoodiens. L experience de meta-cinema ultime. Pas de message, juste du medium.

?This is a work based on found footage. Schreiner extracted sequences with numbers from many movies, both classic and obscure. Using these short fragments he compiled a countdown starting from the number 266. A strong effect of suspense is created, the tight-paced montage holding the viewer`s attention.?

Les artistes vus dans les films, dont la vie est fabriquée, des artistes fictifs : qui sont-ils, comment vivent-ils, comment travaillent-ils ? Quels genres de clichés transportent-ils ? Est ce qu'ils reflètent la vision qu?ont les artistes contemporains d?eux-mêmes, ou représentent-ils une image anachronique de l?artiste dans une société extrêmement influencée par les médias modernes? Les douze montages, issus d?extraits de plus d?une centaine de films, allant du classique à la série B, engagent avec ces questions un jeu subjectif.

Des salons froidement éclairés par l'écran blanc d'une télévision sont des présages familiers d'une apocalypse approchante dans la plupart des films. Dans Cell c'est justement cet element troublant qui est étudié à la loupe. Un montage de multiples fragments d'écran couvert de cette neige vascillante tirés de films hollywoodiens. L experience de meta-cinema ultime. Pas de message, juste du medium.

Une compilation de faisceaux lumineux provenant de lampes de poche. "Radar" conduit à une inquiétante recherche. Des faisceaux de lumière tâtonnants, montés à partir des fragments d'innombrables films, éclairent de façon sporadique un chemin qui mène vers le néant. Une réflexion métaphorique sur les parts d'ombre de l'existence comme sur la lumière de la connaissance. (Kristina Tieke:"Lumière de la connaissance", in:Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung, 9.5.2006)

?This is a work based on found footage. Schreiner extracted sequences with numbers from many movies, both classic and obscure. Using these short fragments he compiled a countdown starting from the number 266. A strong effect of suspense is created, the tight-paced montage holding the viewer`s attention.?

Les artistes vus dans les films, dont la vie est fabriquée, des artistes fictifs : qui sont-ils, comment vivent-ils, comment travaillent-ils ? Quels genres de clichés transportent-ils ? Est ce qu'ils reflètent la vision qu?ont les artistes contemporains d?eux-mêmes, ou représentent-ils une image anachronique de l?artiste dans une société extrêmement influencée par les médias modernes? Les douze montages, issus d?extraits de plus d?une centaine de films, allant du classique à la série B, engagent avec ces questions un jeu subjectif.

`UNAMERICA Relocating memories’, by the artist Luise Schröder, deals with the commemoration of the internment of Japanese-Americans at the former War Relocation Center in Manzanar, USA during World War II. Once a year survivors, their relatives, as well as sympathizing groups come together to commemorate the forced displacement and detention of more than 10,000 people to Manzanar authorized by president Roosevelt through the Executive Order 9066. In 1985 the place was declared a national memorial site. Since 9/11 the Japanese-American community intensively expresses its solidarity also with Muslim communities in the USA and invites them to participate in the events at Manzanar. The video focusses on different historical, political and visual narratives with the purpose to understand how and in which way the historical events are represented and reconstructed today. The historical photos used in the video are taken by Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange.

Luise Schroeder is a visual artist, photographer and filmmaker, who is based in Potsdam, Leipzig and Berlin. Within her artistic practice she is dealing with aspects of “history in the making” from a today’s perspective and how cultures of remembrance and commemoration are influenced and formed by media and image production. In recent years, the artist has taken part in solo exhibitions at the Kunstverein Bielefeld and the C/O Berlin Amerikahaus in Germany and in numerous group exhibitions. Among others in the Brno House of Arts (Czech Republic), in the 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art in 2012 and in the Gallery Eigen+Art in Berlin as well as in the Goethe Institut Washington DC, USA. In 2016 she was awarded a three-months scholarship in Los Angeles at the Villa Aurora and in 2018/19 she was holding a residency at the Cité des Arts in Paris, France.

To speed up the process of becoming an independent self-employed artist and to end my dependence on Hartz 4 unemployment benefit, I had to participate in a program for business optimization, carried out by a management consultancy that was engaged by the Jobcenter. My proposal to make a film documentation of the process was denied. I transformed recordings of conversations, hand-outs, correspondence, my dream diary and the pre-printed form F 5.5 into a scenario about my “project on the artistic business personality,” in which the role models of artist, entrepreneur and welfare recipient, all represented by myself, clash and make me grapple with their compatibility. What does optimization mean? Which language is used? How are my actions and how am I described, adapted and, if so, deformed?

Rainbow's Gravity is a cinematic study on the Agfacolor-Neu colour film stock made in Nazi Germany. Along its three layers of emulsion, the film digs deep into the escapist colourised landscape of this time and asks for the material requirements, retentions and ideological continuities of the Agfacolor palette. The film sequences, projected in the former production line, dismantle not only themselves, but also our view accustomed to historicise. Those scenes aim to visualise what the colour does not show. The film tries to realise, not only how it had been - in the darkrooms of the Agfa film factory - but also how it can be possible at all to face this reality today within film, in images and movements without a final or even conciliatory view of the past

Mareike Bernien (Berlin) and Kerstin Schroedinger (London / Zurich) working in collaboration since 2006 in joint film, exhibition and text projects. In their work they seek to critically interrogate image productions and to produce and reproduce images as material of thought. They work with film, radio play, music and text with a historiographical practice, questioning the means of production, historical continuities and ideological certainties of representation. They are interested in an experimental and critical approach to media formats, with an implicit entanglement of content and form.
