Artists from films, whose lives are made-up, fictional artists: who are they, how do they live, how do they work? What kind of clichÈs do they convey? Do they reflect the way that contemporary artists view themselves or do they represent an anachronistic image of theartist in a society heavily influenced by modern media? The twelve montages, taken from more than one hundred films ranging from classics to B-movies, engage in a subjective game with these questions.

Traces, devices, indications, found and discovered, clues and hints referring to absentees - a compilation of excerpts from movies and feature films.

A compilation of cones of light from electric torches. "Radar" leads to an eerie pursuit of tracks. Hesitant cones of light, made from fragments of innumerable films, light up in a sporadic manner a path leading to nothingness. A metaphorical reflection on the darker side of existence as well as the light of knowledge. 2006 5 minutes 14 seconds Color / b&w Mono channel 1+2 PAL

"Main motive is the speaker - on masts, in halls, on roofs in cars, living rooms, in headphones and handsets, in radio installations. Sound get through the speakers, as unclear part of communication and dialogues, distorted music and announcements, search of transitions, noise." (catalogue Viennale 2008)

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.

More recently, the artist duo has looked at the artistic practice of the emblem. This is to consider an emblem as a variety of being a symbol, a trick, or a figure of thought. By so doing, Hanakam & Schuller rely on their profound examination of the formal language of everyday objects, liberating these from their context or their supposedly mysterious meanings. Inspired by the “Building Duke” research, Hanakam & Schuller worked on Duke University’s (Durham, NC) variety of architectural forms during their stay in spring 2019. In other words, the idea is to develop a short film featuring both physical architectural details of the campus buildings, and also virtually twisting these by means of a playful range of emblems.

Markus Hanakam (1979) and Roswitha Schuller (1984) both studied at the Universtiy of Applied Arts in Vienna. Since 2004 they collaborate as duo, their work is shown at Museums and Festivals in an international context, including Rencontres Internationales at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin and Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology, New York, , SIGGRAPH 2012 Los Angeles, ISEA 2011, Istanbul, 4th Moscow International Biennale for Contemporary Art 2011 among others. Recently they have been visiting artists at Duke University, Durham, NC. The artefacts made by the two artists who live in Vienna are often shape-shifters, changing their exterior forms and reappearing in different contexts. As artists and researchers they are engaged in restructuring the visual art rulebook and building up idiosyncratic systemic orders and new visions of the world in their videos and objects. In the process they reflect and make ironic various historical and contemporary artistic strategies as well as their means of expression. They work primarily in the realm of video, interactive computer applications and applied forms of art.

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. In C.G. Jungs sense the archetype as an object conduce to determination of a “big picture” - of wholeness - as a subject it serves as structure for universal and individual experiences. Like a role-play-gaming kit Markus Hanakam & Roswitha Schuller’s video-work Trickster provides a card index on archetypical places, figures, artifacts and actions; a mode of narration on a coherent world design. To support the layer of moving image a text layer is composed by assembling passages from a historical inventory catalogue of the National Gallery of Scotland. A traditional spectrum of subjects, mostly Genre painting like landscape and portrait, declares the semiotics of art historical reading and puts it into a gaming context.

Markus Hanakam was born 1979 in Essen, Germany. After studying two years at the University Essen (Faculty for Art and Design), 2000-2002, he graduated in 2006 with a Master degree in Art Education, 2009 Master degree in Sculpture and Multimedia from the University of Applied Art Vienna. Roswitha Schuller was born in 1984 in Friesach, Austria. She graduated 2007 with a Master degree in Art Education, 2009 Master degree in Sculpture and Multimedia from the University of Applied Art Vienna; she holds a Doctoral Degree in Art Sociology. Since 2004 they collaborate as duo, their work is shown at Museums and Festivals in an international context, including Videodumbo Festival 2013 at Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology, New York, Recontres Internationales 2012 at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, ISEA 2011, Istanbul, 4th Moscow International Biennale for Contemporary Art 2011. They gained several awards like the MAK Schindler Fellowship in Los Angeles as well as an Artist in Residency at the Citè International des Art, Paris. Their short Film “INVASION” is awarded as Jury Selection Work at Japan Media Arts Festival 2012. Markus Hanakam & Roswitha Schuller have been visiting curators at Medienwerkstatt Wien 2014.

This fiction, filmed on the Carnac alignments in Brittany, France, shows us a world where a group of household electric appliances have acquired a series of affects. Together they stage a version of a Victorian drama, a very free adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, where an air conditioner named AC suffers the adventures of being poor and orphaned in a loveless world in the midst of climate change. This drama, performed entirely by household appliances, takes place at a time when its moral content is linked to the first industrial revolutions. The idea would be to take up the fundamental themes of Victorian literature, such as the evolution of Romanticism towards reason, religious skepticism, the gradual urbanization of society, the creation of the bourgeoisie, the appearance of the figure of the snob, prejudice, glory and sensibility, as well as high moralism and the repression of sexuality.

Born in 1985, Liv Schulman grew up in Buenos Aires, where she attended public school. Fascinated by television, the arrival of cable in 1990 and the financial crash of 2001 are among the most striking moments of her life. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure d’ans de Paris-Cergy, she has lived in France since 2015. Liv Schulman’s work takes the form of filmed fictions, TV series, readings-performances and novel writing. The narratives at the core of her work deal with the role of subjectivity in the political space and the difficulty of giving it credit. In this way, a real telenovela is shown on television as if in a museum. In her approach, creating means directly experiencing an environment, a system, a subject. She has exhibited her work at the Villa Vassilieff in Paris, the CAC La Galerie in Noisy-Ie- Sec, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Crac Alsace, the Steirischer Herbst Festival in Austria, the Ricard Foundation in Paris, the SMK in Copenhagen, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires, the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, and the Bennis Center for Contemporary Arts in Nebraska. She has benefited from the ADAGP grant, the sponsorship of the Fondation des Artistes, the DAAD residency programme in Germany, and was awarded the Ricard prize in 2018.

For 66year-old german video-pioneer Gerd Conradt life shows new dimensions whilst gardening like other pensioners of his age. He turns his small garden into a nourishing and flowering GERD-EN OF FLUX öeaving soil for upcoming generations of artists. The film is to understand as a homage to gerd?s 66th birthday, edited to his favorite song by Jimmy Cliff on i-Movie. His friends celebrating him in real or on reel are: Kai Hoffmann, Veit loup, Wolfgang Lorenz, Hartmut Jahn, Lutz Gregor, Kain Karawahn etc...

In her videos, Schulz provides a candid approach to her subjects through careful camerawork, ever- oscillating between proximity and distance. These slow observations demand significant concentration on the subject matter, for instance in her 'Home Series', in which she portrays men in their apartments. Here Schulz asks strangers if they would be open to develop a relationship in which the camera functions as the main instrument of communication. By doing so, she breaks the tension of subject/object relations, race and gender. As time goes by, we see these men in their apartments pondering over their lives, while further intimacy is being developed with the artist.

Der Titel Golden Boys leitet sich von den Golden Boy Promotions in Los Angeles ab. Sie nehmen junge Boxer unter Vertrag und organisieren monatlichen Kämpfe in der Stadt. Mit Golden Boys assoziiere ich eine Band, eine Gang oder eine andere Männergemeinschaft. Ich sehe das Boxen als eine Art Gemeinschaftsritual, junge Männer trainieren in kleinen Gruppen und sind als Sparringpartner körperlich eng verbunden. Mich interessiert ihr Zusammenschluss als eine Abgrenzung von ihrer Umgebung und als Eintritt in eine eigene Gegenwelt. Der Soziologe Loic Wacquant schreibt in seinem Buch Leben für den Ring. Boxen im amerikanischen Ghetto, dass die Sporthalle einer Entbanalisierung des Alltags gleicht. Mittels Trainingsroutine und Körpermodellierung bietet sie Zugang zu einer anderen Welt, in der sich Abenteuer, männliche Ehre und Prestige mischen. Gleichzeitig ist das Boxen eine der einsamsten und individuellsten Sportarten. Jeder steht allein im Ring, in minimaler Bekleidung. Der Körper ist das Kapital des Boxers, er wird eingesetzt im Kampf und unterliegt dabei einem hohen Verletzungsrisiko. Es ist eine Aufführung des Körperlichen auf erhöhter Bühne, umringt von Zuschauern. Hierin spiegelt sich die Sehnsucht wahrgenommen zu werden und der Wunsch, unsterblich zu sein. Boxen ist ein Kampf um Anerkennung. Wenn du ins Profigeschäft einsteigen willst, musst du es dorthin schaffen. In den USA, da bist du als Boxer noch wer, erzählt mir ein Protagonist aus Golden Boys Igdir. In dem Video begleite ich eine Gruppe junger Boxer aus Berlin zu Vergleichskämpfen in die Türkei. Die ersten beiden Szenen zeigen Alen Rahimic bei der Rasur, die ein Ritual vor jedem Amateurkampf ist. Den Amateurboxern ist es versagt mit Bart in den Ring zu steigen, weil er eine Verletzung im Gesicht verdecken kann. Im weiteren Verlauf sieht man die Jugendlichen bei ihren nächtlichen Treffen in der Hotellobby, die zu dieser späten Stunde von einem halb öffentlichen zu einem privaten Ort und somit zu einem Freiraum für die Gruppe wird. In Golden Boys Maravilla beobachte ich Andre Perez, Martin Urias und Raymond Otanes wie sie mal für mal eine steil ansteigende Straße in East Los Angeles hinauf rennen. Das road work ist Teil des Trainingsprogramms kurz vor ihrem Kampf in Mexiko. Am Ende der Straße steht – unscharf – eine Gruppe Männer, die an eine Gang denken lässt, die mit ihrer Präsenz das Viertel markiert und die Jüngeren vor äußeren Einflüssen abschirmt. Es sind die Trainer und Väter, die einer Kontrollinstanz gleich, ihre Zöglinge überwachen und hüten.We wanna keep them off the streets. Das Boxen soll ihre Söhne von der Straße fern halten. Gleichzeitig machen sie sich die Straße auf eine andere Weise zu eigen. Sie ist ihr Trainingsfeld. In Golden Boys Monterey Park ist Rico Ramos, ehemaliger Weltmeister im Bantamgewicht, einziger Protagonist. Er befindet sich in einer ‚gewohnten Ausnahmesituation‘, hat seine Wohnung und sein soziales Umfeld verlassen und lebt bei seinem Coach im Trainingscamp. In dieser letzten Phase vor dem Kampf wird sein Körper zur Rüstung und Waffe geformt. Mich interessiert der Moment der Isolation. Ramos sitzt wochenlang alleine vor dem Fernseher zwischen den drei täglichen Trainingseinheiten im Gym. Hier beobachte ich die Bewegungen des Körpers, Gestik und Mimik. Auf der Tonebene sind Stimmen und Musik aus dem Fernseher zu vernehmen. Es sind Fragmente, die eine Soundcollage ergeben, die zwischen Realität und Künstlichkeit changiert, ähnlich dem Körper im Raum, der sich in dem bunt aufflackernden Fernsehlicht bewegt. Das Boxen zeige ich in dem dreiteiligen Video nie explizit, vielmehr schwebt es wie ein Versprechen über den Köpfen der Protagonisten und ist verbindendes Element.

Jana Schulz (*1984 in Berlin) lebt und arbeitet in Berlin und Leipzig. 2018 schloss sie ihr Meisterschülerstudium bei Prof. Tina Bara an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig ab. 2020 ist sie Teilnehmerin des Berlin Program for Artists, 2019 war sie mit einem Stipendium der Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen am International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York. 2018 erhielt sie das Villa Aurora Stipendium der Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes und den Marion Ermer Preis. Schulz‘ Arbeiten wurden unter anderem im Eigen+Art Lab Berlin, bei Eigen+Art Leipzig, in der Anna Poterasu Gallery Bukarest, in der Kunsthalle Wien, im Museum der Bildenden Künste Leipzig und im Kunstquartier Bethanien Berlin gezeigt. Kommende Ausstellungen sind im Center for Photography Melbourne und im Kunstverein Bremerhaven. In ihren medienübergreifenden Arbeiten setzt sie sich mit Formen zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation auseinander. In einer prozessualen Arbeitsweise beobachtet sie Strukturen und Dynamiken innerhalb sozialer Gruppen, reinszeniert einzelne Szenen und erweitert ihren dokumentarischen Ansatz um fiktive Elemente.

Filmmaker Alex Schuurbiers became captivated by a small house on a French island, a mystical place hidden between the incessant force of wind and waves. In the experimental documentary Song Of Homecoming, she talks to the house and its inhabitant in an attempt to find kinship and connection.

Alex Schuurbiers (she/her) is a photographer and filmmaker from the Netherlands living and working in Antwerp, Belgium. After years of writing short stories and shooting portraits, she started combining text with moving images for the short film En Vagues, which premiered at Courtisane, Gent in 2023. Inspired by the work of Jean Epstein, it was shot on 8mm on Ouessant, a small rocky island off the coast of Brittany. She created the miniature Handwerk at LABOBXL filmed on a Bolex, hand-developed and edited on a Steenbeck, after which she fell even more in love with the medium. In early 2023 she finished Where I lay my head to rest, a personal cine-essay about modern day femininity and close collaboration with cinematographer Ans Mertens. Song of Homecoming is her first foray into more documentary-based experimental filmmaking. She is also the founding member of Ursula, a collective of women working with the moving image based in Antwerp.

Remco Schuurbiers est originaire des Pays-Bas, il vit et travaille actuellement à Berlin. Son travail se situe aux confins de la vidéo et de l'audio numérique, créant ainsi des compositions, installations et performances abstraites. Il travaille souvent sur des projets en collaboration avec des artistes de la scène électronique et produit des performances audiovisuelles, compositions ou improvisations. Par ailleurs, il travaille en tant que photographe, et co-organisateur du 'Club Transmediale' et de 'The art of pingpongcountry'. Depuis peu, il travaille en collaboration avec le compositeur hollandais Huib Emmer sous le pseudonyme 'Datenreport' et également avec Radboud Mens pour l'?uvre "Pulse".

Cette performance de Radboud Mens (son) et Remco Schuurbiers (vidéo) est une composition multimédia improvisée, fondée sur le dialogue entre les deux artistes. Les connexions numériques systématiques image/son s`opposent dans cette performance à une recherche de structures d`équivalences intuitives. Le matériau sonore et visuel de Pulse est un matériau numérique auto-généré. Il part de formes géométriques minimales les plus basiques et de sons basses fréquences, et se développe lentement en une texture hypnotique et de grande complexité. www.art-action.org

The development of the Internet and the flood of information attached to it give increasing value to archives and close-circuit collections. In the live installation "Sichtbar Archiv", the Dutch artists Remco Packbiers and Remco Schuurbiers unite their personal archives of image recordings and sounds to create a joint performance. Four monitors, four video-cassette recorders, and four mono turntable records are in a block of wood especially made for the occasion. The VHS video images and the sounds of the records are mixed live, superposed, opposed, and then reunited in a new collage. The installation's 'analogical' structure, the technical use of the instruments, as well as the interaction between the artists do not disappear in the perfection of the digital worlds, but are actually part of the installation. The film transposes two systems in a new spontaneous, intuitive, and associative context, and allows the public to see one hundred years of images and sounds.

Born in Holland, Remco Schuurbiers lives and works in Berlin. His work consists in abstract compositions, short video films, installations, and live video performances. He works on projects with musicians in the field of Contemporary Electronic Music, producing composed or improvised audiovisual performances. He also works as a photographer, is one of the organizers of club transmediale, and is co-organizer of the event/project "The Art of Pingpongcountry". Together with director Ivan Stanev he creates films and theater plays. In his PA Dual-project, Remco Packbiers uses 4 to 8 mono record players. His aim is to find the perfect musical fragment at the right time in the right musical environment. His masterful mixing skills utilise a whole range of musical genres like Grass Roots, Rare Grooves, Folk Music (Ethnic), Lock Grooves, Spoken Word, Contemporary music, Electro-Acoustic, Avant-Hop, Dub-Step, Breakcore, and Noise.

Somebody is playing with a hammer on his foot.

Rolf Schuurmans was born in Holland in 1972, and now he works and lives in Antwerpen, Belgium. He makes sculptures, music/sounds, and films/video, sometimes in combination. Lately his focus has been on film.

Instants arrive and take place for us and in us. Like the girl appearing in a gust, as a goddess of winds, whose movements settle into a gesture, a suite of still images. Between the instants relations unfold, the evident as well as the invented. The hand that halts in writing sentence after sentence implies a loop, a stepping back. There, what has been felt takes form. The jolts, abrasions, and stops in the arrival of images make up this body of instants from which language flows. —Hannes Schüpbach (Translation: Elizabeth Tucker)

Hannes Schüpbach was born in Winterthur (Switzerland) in 1965. He is a visual artist and writer. Since 1999 Schüpbach has completed ten silent films. However, his artistic practice with elements of the cinematographic dates back to 1990, with spatial installations and serial paintings that can be experienced through movement. In the exhibition Stills and Movies at Kunsthalle Basel, 2009, a number of his large, connected series of paintings were shown for the first time. The exhibition also highlighted the conceptual interconnections between installations, performances, and films by Schüpbach; they all entice movement and unfold through memory.
