La vidéo est composée de scènes qui décrivent une matinée dans une banlieue de Sud-Californie. Des vues subjectives et observatrices de l'espace et des détails établissent le lieu. Les images et le montage suggèrent un développement narratif fermé du film. Rapidement après qu'il semble qu'un personnage devient établi, une coupure intervient. Les images montrant des opinions subjectives changent l'on peut entendre trois marines US répondre sur leurs conditions de vie en Iraq pendant que les images, elles, restent en banlieue.

This work interlinks filmic, installative and performative layers. Joseph Kosuth?s compiled collection of contemporary art in the Freud Museum in Vienna is used as a filmset. Accompanied by a cameraman and sound technician a journalist interviews an artist pacing through the exhibition. The takes of this scene discuss conditions of myths of biographical narration and are being repeated over and over for about 50 minutes. The spectators transform into extras.

In Fragments of a Jam my intention was to stage a choice of research material circling the topics of the voyage, the search and espionage. The project emerged as part of a group show of commissioned works on behalf of the abbey of Melk to celebrate the anniversary year of their patron. The curatorial notion circled around similar topics. On the opening night the audience could attend the filming in the abbeys pavillon. Similar to About Me and The Tour (The Mackeys), that combine forms of live performance with filmic language, this work is oscillating between a theatrical performance and a film shoot. For the duration of the exhibition, the various coloured frames/panels used as props for the set, now form an environment to present the resulting film of the opening night.

Stephan Lugbauer born in Feldkirch Austria in 1976 now lives and works in Vienna and Lower Austria. He studied Architecture at the Technical University Vienna, received his MFA at the Academy of Fine Arts, New Media Department, Vienna and was fellow of the MAK Schindler Residency, Los Angeles and of the BMUKK Studio Resicency in Mexico City. He is co-founder of Saprophyt, an independent conzeptual art space and project (www.saprophyt.net). His work has been featured in several international exhibitions and festivals such as Hors Pistes, Centre George Pompidou, Les Rencontres Internationales Paris, Madrid, Berlin, CAAM, Gran Canaria, Kunsthalle Wien, Secession, Vienna. His work is fundamentally critic and analytic, interrogating the role of creation and artists. It re-evaluates the porosity of art, which is pervaded with contemporary political and economical areas. "My notion of art has always been a sphere apart from any kind of constraints. A realm of freedom which most probably can only exist in our imagination, but for which I nonetheless fight for. In my vision of art the artist himself plays the role of the antagonist to the mainstream. He is the rebel, the outsider - a professional un-professional. "

In Eating Secrets, we bear witness to a mysterious ritual, based on psycho-magic exercises by the cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky. In psycho-magic, images are used as symbols to appear to the unconscious mind as real events. A similar thing can be said about the impression of films onto the soul. Haunted by a suggestive soundtrack from the recently deceased Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic) we enter into a dreamlike state, where time is fluid and the ritual is very real. This eight minute short film was shot on super 16mm in my studio and its adjacent garden.

THE MACKEYS evolved out of a six months residency during the MAK Schindler Program in Los Angeles. The Movie A filmic collage on Los Angeles based on former residents?s memories, diary entries, references to art, literature and film. It starts with a young woman talking about a confusion of two movies with nearly identical titles - L.A. Plays Itself and Los Angeles Plays Itself. Subsequently follows a remake of the opening titles to Thom Anderson?s Los Angeles Plays Itself. A couple of minutes later we hear the sound of an helicopter taken from the opening sequence of Robert Altman?s Short Cuts while the camera pans in bird?s-eye view across the hedge?s and front yard of R.M. Schindler?s Mackey Apartment House. A voiceover recites a passage from Memoirs of My Nervous Illness by Daniel Paul Schreber: ?To make myself at least somewhat comprehensible I shall have to speak much in images and similes, which may at times perhaps be only approximately correct. For the only way a human being can make supernatural matters, which in their essence must remain incomprehensible, understandable to a certain degree is by compairing them with known facts of human experience.?

The goal of this filmproject was to transgress cultural, linguistic and structural borders and to bring this experiment via improvisation into the shape of a movie. As point of origin and/or abstract storyboard served an interview which I conducted with Xian Min Zhan - a chinese filmcritic and curator of various chinese film festivals.  Our conversation did range from thoughts on independent cinema to the city of the future.  One of the main topics of this conversation - theories on postfordistic, neoliberal social utopias after paolo virno, forms as a conceptual pattern the dogma of the production of ?The North Capital?. We shot for about 5 days in Beijing with amateurs willing to participate in this truly improvised movie. Rarely scripted dialogues, no rehearsals and improvisations on the spot. A movie about an utopia: The North Capital. The movie`s language is mandarin chinese with english subtitles. ?So visually this utopia will be transparent, almost colorless, washed out? all the colours there are will be fabricated or fake and only for visual effect. all the buildings will be mostly ruins. if people dont procreate, they will talk or create. artist will make up the majority of the population and work under precarious circumstances - you know, minimal wages or unpaid labour, although the characteristics of their work would not really differ from the work of the privileged class. the privileged managing class will decide on who or what to support. they will say that the real support is your dream. they offer some kind of support for your dreams, you excercise yourself in these dreams and wake up with bigger muscels. in this kind of coming dictatorship of globalisation or pretended democratic system they will encourage people to commit suizide and use it for propaganda.?

De la guerre en Bosnie, on se souvient surtout des noms de villes, Sarajevo, Mostar, Bihac, Tuzla, Gorazde? et d?un massacre à Srebrenica. Mais de Visegrad, on ne se souvient pas. Parce que de Visegrad, les médias occidentaux n?ont jamais parlé. Comme s?il ne s?y était rien passé. Comme si Visegrad n?avait jamais existé. Visegrad existe pourtant. C?est une ville de Bosnie orientale, avec un pont. Un pont symbolique et majestueux. Un pont rendu célèbre par le roman d?Ivo Andric. Un pont comme une emblème, comme un pilori, comme un mausolée? comme un témoignage.

It Wears as it Grows is a story about paranoia, dictatorship and nowadays corruption. All begins on 25th May 1959, at the height of the Cold War, when Nikita Khrushchev visited Albania. Soviet plans to arm Enver Hoxha`s state with submarines and warships, positioning long and medium-range missiles along the Albanian coast, were devised to counter the U.S. missile bases installed in Italy in order to control the Mediterranean. A large number of young Albanian sailors took part in military training under the Soviet army. In 1963, after the break in relations with the USSR, the Albanian navy, in paranoiac fear of enemy attacks, sighted an object that repeatedly appeared and vanished in the sea off the coast at Patok. Believing it to be a submarine, they fired. The object was in fact a Cachalot (Physeter catodon L), the Mediterranean sperm whale. After being recovered, its remains were displayed in the Museum of Natural History in Tirana, where it can still be found. After all, in 2011 the object reappears in the streets of Tirana and like a ghost it wonders around the city, then to be enclosed inside the "Piramida", Hoxha?s mausoleum in Tirana, that was built in 1987. This pyramid-shaped structure was designed by the daughter and son-in-law of the late Albanian communist leader Enver Hoxha to glorify his figure and create an eternal monument like the pyramids of the Egyptian pharaohs. The museum was closed with the ending of communist regime in 1992. Among other activities during the 1999 Kosovo War, the mausoleum was used as a base by NATO and a number of international humanitarian organisations. Gradually stripped of its marble cladding and now abandoned, the 17,000 square metre complex will be destroyed so that the new Albanian parliament can be built on the site.

Born in 1980 in Tirana, Albania. He lives and works in Tirana. ?Writer of plays, texts on risk territory and film author, producer of conflict images, Armando Lulaj is a lucid and disrespectful analyst of the dispositive and mechanisms of power hidden backstage of the international claimed forms. He has no desire to rivendicate the context of local belonging; rather, he is orientated toward accentuating the border between economical power, fictional democracy and social disparity in a global context?. In 2003 he founded the Debatikcenter of Contemporary Art. Debatikcenter is a debate centre who wants to analyze the recent changes in contemporary society. Recently, Debatikcenter has become more of a centre for film production run by Armando and his sister Anola Lulaj. Armando Lulaj has participated in exhibitions such as: The Prague Biennial (2003, 2007), Tirana Biennial (2005), the Albanian Pavilion in the 52 Venice Biennial (2007), the 4th Gothenburg Biennale (2007), the 8th Baltic Biennial of Contemporary Art, Szczecin, Poland (2009), the 6th Berlin Biennial (2010). Among other residency programs we can mention IASPIS (2010). (Marco Scotini)

44 years after the name of Albania?s dictator was painted on the Shpirag mountain, a group of villagers take the effort to climb the mountain and change the letters by overwriting a new word, referring to the past dictatorship and the current government.

On December 23, 1957, at 11:10 AM, a US Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star aircraft flown by Major Howard J. Curran left Chateauroux, France, heading for Naples, Italy. Above Turin, the aircraft radio failed and after hitting bad weather with strong winds, the plane veered off its flight path to end up, by mistake, in the sovereign airspace of the People`s Republic of Albania. At 1:28 PM, the intruder was intercepted by the Albanian Air Force Command, which instantly ordered two MiG-15 fighter jets to take off and identify it. By 3:50 PM, the fighters reported that they had spotted the intruder in the area around Rinas Airport, flying at 500-650 km/hr at an altitude of 150-200 m. Prompt countermeasures were taken. The airplane was forced to land and, to keep it from taking off again, the airport was locked down.

With references to landscape painting from the Romantic era and to silent film Henrik Lund Jørgensen draws inspiration from the works of the Danish film maker Carl Th. Dreyer in the making of his new video The Recruitment (And Escape) Of A Plastic Soldier (2015). In a cinematic language a narrative arises that exchange concepts as recruitment and flight and for whom it concerns. 

Henrik Lund Jørgensen received his Master’s degree in Fine Arts in 2005 at the Malmö Art Academy, where he also lives and works today. In addition, he has a Bachelor’s degree in photography and a Master’s degree in film. In recent years, he has taught in the Master’s Programme Cinematic processes at Valand Academy of Film at Gothenburg University. Lund Jørgensen has exhibited both in Sweden and internationally, including at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, Kunsthalle Rostock, Museum Kunst der Westküste (DE), Kiasma (Helsinki), Norrtälje Konsthall, Scandinavia House (New York), The Hirschsprungske Collection (Copenhagen) and at the Atelier Nord ANX (Oslo) and was recently a grant holder at the Iaspis program in Stockholm.

The video Gut Feeling investigates the body as a container full of biology, memories and stories. It explores how genetics, history and ghosts affect our consciousness, questions who we are or what we are made of, and describes a kind of life without any beginning or end. The video looks at the ambiguity of the body – to see it as both a possessor and possessed, which may make us reimagine what we interpret as living or dead, human or non human, and familiar or strange in the subject. Gut Feeling is full of unarticulated, undefined and unclear shapes – abstract forms waiting to be shaped by language and words.

The video Area of Use is an illustration of a housewife?s inner thoughts about alternative ways of using her most common working tools. It is also a manifestation of a sealed existence that exposes a mind which gives a sense of being trapped in a treadmill.

Represented with videoworks at several art institutions, among them Moderna Museet in Stockholm and Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.

The video is a description of two people who are situated in an constant state of present, where the past is continuously fading and the future seems unreachable. It appears as if the woman and the man are unaware of their situation, which amplifies the sense of meaninglessness. "Eternal Start" illustrates a relationship where everything is routine, and every day is the same. Eternity becomes a reflection of a life without meaning, in which they are unable to change their accustomed behaviour. They converse like a record that is stuck, and never gets the chance to develop. The video highlights and gives insight to the importance of having the ability to make new memories, so that life can go on.

Making Pancakes est une vidéo d'animation qui montre un homme et une femme engagés dans une relation totalement déséquilibrée. Parfois, on assiste à ce qui ressemble à des événements ordiaires, et d'autres fois ils sont dans des situations plus menaçantes. L'homme se complaît dans l'autosatisfaction et pourtant il émane de lui une incertitude et un désir de reconnaissance. La femme est comme engourdie par la routine et fait tout ce qu'elle peut pour maintenir les apparences. En renversant la situation et en transposant les violences domestiques à l'extérieur du domicile, où elles sont visibles, alors qu'à l'intérieur du domicile il s'agit de maintenir une apparence parfaite, on montre l'absurdité de ce comportement. Les erreurs insignifiantes que la femme commet en préparant le dîner agissent comme un catalyseur des actes de violence, elles sont les gouttes d'eau qui font déborder le vase.

« Oh, I'm So Happy » est une vidéo d?animation où nous rencontrons une femme d'âge moyen qui vit dans un isolement total et, par conséquent, dans une extrême solitude. La femme récite un monologue, dans lequel elle fait de son mieux pour nous convaincre qu?elle est heureuse et contente de sa situation actuelle. Cependant, sa tentative est totalement superficielle et transparente.

Power Play est une vidéo d'animation, comprenant dix différentes scènes dans lesquelles deux hommes se font compétition, à travers leur virilité, qu'ils exagèrent, et l'utilisation de différents attributs, dans une série d'actes sans queue ni tête.La vidéo commente et ridiculise clairement les stéréotypes que les deux personnages emploent dans leur conversation d'homme à homme, les coutumes qui sont généralement établies dans la culture occidentale. Le film s'intéresse à ce jeu d'actes, pour montrer clairement au spectateur à quel point ce comportement est dépourvu de sens.Quand l'?uvre est présentée en galerie, un contrepied, spectateur de la vidéo, est installé. Dans cette autre vidéo, qui contient seulement une scène, une femme complètement, qui s'ennuie profondément, regarde les hommes dans leur performance.

The animated video The Quiet Game Starts Now (Tysta leken börjar nu) is a satire about the current escalation of self-absorption.

The animated video "Tilt" describes a deep relation that is abruptly broken up and as a result, the existing life is turned into ruin. The video is a contemplation of a human being’s inability to comprehend its own transience.
