Ariel Mioduser
Reality TV
Animation | dv | noir et blanc | 2:6 | Israel | 2006
Comme le titre le suggère, "Reality TV" confronte le spectateur avec les faux concepts de la réalité donnés à voir par les médias. Ces médias qui déterminent à leur tour de faux concepts de réalité et définissent les comportements dans ce qu'on appelle la 'vraie vie'. Cette réalité supposée est représentée par des extraits de publicités et d'émissions télévisées ne montrant que les moments d'extase feinte, le tout hors-contexte. Par exemple, on peut voir une mannequin décrire avec emphase comment un certain shampoing a radicalement changé sa vie, ou une autre mannequin brandir une boite en carton (contenant des céréales? de la lessive? à vous de choisir) avec une expression de quasi-jouissance. Par opposition à ces séquences, on commence à distinguer, dans la pénombre, l'image d'une famille bourgeoise typique , assise devant le (ou bien à l'intérieur du) téléviseur : il s'agit bien de la seule image de "réelle réalité" ici. Mais que dire? Cette réalité de zombies en captivité, les yeux rivés sur les publicités, est bien moins excitante... Reste le bébé, le seul (pour l'heure) à manifester la moindre réaction. La structure du film soutient son message, aussi bien d'un point de vue visuel que musical : chaque extrait de publicité forme un module, qui peut être diffusé de manière aléatoire avant ou après n'importe quel autre module. Chacun de ces modules contient sa propre musique. Agencée de manière aléatoire, la séquence de ces modules résulte en un flux monotone de bruit blanc, entrecoupé de fragments extatiques.
Né à Buenos Aires, en Argentine, Ariel Mioduser vit à Jaffa, en Israël. Il obtient une licence à la 'Bezalel Academy of Art and Design' à Jérusalem, puis un mastère à l'université d'Alcala en Espagne. Il enseigne au département d'art numérique et au département de communication visuelle du 'Technology Education College' à Tel-Aviv en Israël. Après avoir travaillé pendant presque vingt ans dans le domaine commercial, Ariel Mioduser a commencé à travailler sur de mini-animations personnelles, à cheval entre animation et art. Le travail de Mioduser s'intéresse de près à des thèmes sociaux tels que la pauvreté et la culture de la pauvreté, les formes d'oppression basées sur l'appartenance ethnique ou sexuelle, la mondialisation et la protection de l'environnement. Dans un monde où l'image est utilisée pour manipuler, il 'crée' à l'intérieur de ce monde, tout en posant sur lui un regard critique.

La forêt de l'espace
Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 30:0 | France | 2019
Des hommes, envoyés sur la Lune pour la végétaliser, attendent l’arrivée des terriens. Au milieu de la forêt qu’ils ont fait grandir, ils racontent leurs souvenirs de leurs vies sur Terre et le monde dans lequel ils aimeraient pouvoir vivre. Mais qui sont ces hommes ? Sont-ils réels ? Ont-ils été oubliés ?

Luc Ferrari - Portrait d'un réaliste abstrait
Documentaire | dv | couleur et n&b | 46:0 | Japon | 2005
Luc Ferrari (1929- 2005) est un musicien extraordinaire originaire du sud de la France. Il a une curiosité et un toupet sans fond pour absorber dans sa musique n?importe quelle expression radicale sans hésitation. Il est malheureusement mort en août 2005. Dans la conjoncture de la scène de la musique contemporaine, pleine de genre et cynisme, il poursuivait l?image de la musique comme ?plaisir?. Á sa manière, Ferrari n?a jamais perdu le pouvoir essentiel de la musique. Les musiciens donnant leurs appuis à la musique expérimentale populaire d?aujourd'hui comme Christian Marclay, John Zorn, Sonic Youth, David Grubbs, Yoshihide Otomo, DJ Olive, et Erikm on tous beaucoup de respect pour lui. Depuis la première rencontre du Studio mal parte avec Ferrari, alors qu?il était invité pour la première fois au Japon par Haruyuki Suzuki, une relation chaleureuse s?est établie entre eux et a ouvert la porte à la création de son
Il est réalisateur et représentant du Studio malpatre. Il est né en 1967 à Hiroshima et il s?est établi en 1997 dans un élément de ce qui devint Studio malparte et qui fut assemblé au fur et à mesure que les projets prirent place. Il a produit et présenté indépendamment une série de cinq évènements ?Sagi Poiesis ? ?des séminaires et des ateliers principalement sur l?expression cinématographique). En 1998, il alla en Russie pour travailler comme directeur assistant avec Aleksandr Sokurov sur le tournage de ?MOLOCH? (meilleur film au Festival International du Film de Canne en 1999). En ce moment, il produit et créé un programme artistique nommé ?Edge ? et d?autres programmes pour CSTV.
Sayaka Mizuno
Kawasaki keirin
Documentaire | hdv | couleur | 41:13 | Suisse, Japon | 2016
"Une minuscule buvette-épicerie de la ville industrielle de Kawasaki au Japon est le lieu de rencontre d’habitués occupés à boire des bières en cannette, à discuter de tout et de rien et à jouer aux courses cyclistes. Le vélodrome est tout proche, dans la grisaille du quartier, et représente le seul espace extérieur, la seule échappatoire des hommes qui se retrouvent au bar. Les neuf coureurs de keirin alignés dans les starting-blocks ou sur la piste, dans leurs combinaisons aux couleurs criardes, rythment avec rigueur les journées et entrecoupent les discussions. Au comptoir, les sujets semblent toujours être les mêmes : les paris, le temps qui passe, les cerisiers qui fleurissent... Et pourtant, c’est le repaire des retrouvailles, le lieu de la parenthèse dans un quotidien morne. On se saoule un peu et on partage quelque chose… « J’aime les choses qui flottent, parce que dans l’eau, je coule » confie le tenancier. Pour lui, comme pour ses clients, les cyclistes accrochés à leurs pédales, filant en ligne et imperturbables, sont un peu comme une bouée, le vélodrome, comme un bateau." Madeline Robert
Née en 1991 à Genève, Sayaka Mizuno a réalisé plusieurs courts-métrages et obtient son Bachelor Cinéma à la HEAD – Genève avec mention pour son moyen-métrage intitulé Kawasaki keirin. Présenté au festival Visions du réel 2017, le film reçoit le Prix du Jury SSA/ SUISSIMAGE du film suisse le plus innovant. Elle a participé au Locarno Filmmakers Academy 2017 et est actuellement en Master Cinéma à l’ECAL/ HEAD.

Groteskkbasiliskk! Mineral Mixtape
Vidéo expérimentale | mov | couleur | 26:0 | Inde, Allemagne | 2022
GROTESKKBASILISKK! MINERAL MIXTAPE looks at online subcultures premised on rapid technological acceleration and imperialist nostalgia, and their weird affinities with anti-rationalist ideas in the public sphere.

Techno-scientific fictions feature prominently in his practice, often overlapping with instances or figures drawn from art history and philosophy. Recent projects have explored cyberpunk nostalgia, corporate horror, mad geologies, psychedelic subcultures and Indian modernist painting. He is the author of the books Bezoar Delinqxenz (Edith-Russ-Haus / Sternberg Press, 2023), and Nervous Fossils: Syndromes of the Synthetic Nether (Reliable Copy / KNMA, 2022).

What Then?
Film expérimental | digital | couleur | 3:15 | Allemagne | 2023
As we part ways, there are still traces of each other in our memory or the infinite pool of the subconscious. These images linger, they flicker up. They give us hope, they make us sick. They have us question what has become. They complete us. They gently ask: who are we now?

Image Technology Echoes
VR expérimental | 0 | couleur et n&b | 5:30 | Australie, Irlande | 2021
In the immersive experimental fiction Image Technology Echoes by Lauren Moffatt, we enter a quiet gallery inside a cavernous museum space. The gallery is empty, except for an older man and a younger woman. The pair are having a stilted conversation about the painting they are looking at: a large expressionist canvas depicting a stormy ocean. This odd exchange seems to circulate indefinitely… unless we step inside the body of one of the two figures and are transported to their mental space. Each interior is a messy room with its own life. In this place, the person’s doppelgänger homunculus is reciting their stream of consciousness that the artist generated with a neural network, and the painting appears very different from what we just saw in the gallery.
Lauren Moffatt is an Australian artist working between video, performance and immersive technologies. Her works, often presented in multiple forms, explore the paradoxical subjectivity of connected bodies and the friction at the frontiers between digital and organic life. Lauren's works usually take the form of speculative fictions and environments, which are conceived using a mixture of obsolete and pioneering technologies and often occupy both physical and virtual space. Lauren completed her studies at the College of Fine Arts (AU), Université Paris VIII (FR), and at Le Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporains. Lauren's works have been screened and exhibited most recently at Le Centre Pompidou (FR), Le Grand Palais Éphémère (FR) Hartware MedienkunstVerein (DE) Palais de Tokyo (FR), Villa Medici (IT), UNSW Galleries (AU), Daegu Art Museum (KOR), Museum Dr. Guislain (BE), SAVVY Contemporary (DE), FACT Liverpool (UK) The Sundance Film Festival (US) ZKM (DE), Q21 Freiraum (AT) and at La Gaïté Lyrique (FR). She lives and works between Berlin (DE) and Valencia (ES).

The Magic Hedge
Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 9:4 | Canada, USA | 2016
The Magic Hedge visite une réserve d`oiseaux située sur un ancien site de lancement de missiles datant de l’époque de la Guerre Froide situé sur la rive nord de Chicago. Le spectateur, en se promenant et en observant, découvre le prétendu secret du parc : des hommes cherchent de brefs moments de contact sexuel parmi les arbres et les buissons. La vidéo met en évidence les nombreuses contradictions d`un site autrefois consacré à la surveillance militaire et maintenant conçu pour préserver et réguler la vie des "animaux sauvages".
Frédéric Moffet est un artiste multidisciplinaire, un professeur, un monteur vidéo et un travailleur culturel. Il vit entre Montréal et Chicago. Son œuvre, maintes fois récompensée, explore le territoire insaisissable qui sépare l’histoire, l’expérience vécue et le fantasme. Ses bandes vidéo les plus récentes sont Hard Fat (2002), Jean Genet in Chicago (2006), Postface (2011) et, bientôt, The Faithful. Son travail a été diffusé dans divers festivals, universités et galeries à travers le monde, notamment Rotterdam Film Festival, Whitechapel Art Gallery (London), Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), PPOW Gallery (New York), Biennial of Moving Images (Geneva), Pleasure Dome (Toronto), Other Cinema (San Francisco), Kassel Documentary Film Festival, Microwave (Hong Kong) and Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival.

Goddess of Speed
Vidéo expérimentale | 16mm | couleur et n&b | 8:0 | Canada, USA | 2023
A film titled Dance Movie (aka Rollerskate) appears in many Warhol filmographies, but no work with this title can be found in the Collection. The lost film, starring dancer Fred Herko gliding on a single roller skate, was shot in 1963. Herko was a talented dancer and choreographer who cofounded and performed with the Judson Dance Theater. Herko was also associated with the Mole People, a group of queer men and women who came together to get high on speed and listen to opera. In October 1964, unhoused and strung out on drugs, Herko leapt out of an open window while dancing naked to Mozart’s Coronation Mass in C Major. Although the current location of Dance Movie is unknown, accounts of it do exist, including Warhol’s evocative description in POPism of Herko “gliding in dance attitudes and looking as perfect as the ornament on the hood of a car.” Goddess of Speed poetically reimagines the missing film.
Frédéric Moffet is a media artist, educator, video editor, and cultural worker. He lives in Montreal and Chicago. His work explores the slippery territory between history, lived experience and fantasy. His projects include: Horsey, Fever Freaks, The Magic Hedge, Adresse Permanente, The Faithful, POSTFACE, Jean Genet in Chicago and Hard Fat.

Abu Ammar is Coming
Vidéo | hdv | couleur et n&b | 6:0 | Bangladesh, Royaume-Uni | 2016
A photograph circulates, showing five men staring out of a window. Actually, only four look out; the last man breaks protocol and looks at the camera. The light has a soft glow. The stage is a bombed building. All five men wear military fatigues; the color must have been olive green.Snapped by a Magnum photographer in 1982, the image is a teasing enigma. Arabic newspapers claim it as evidence of Bangladeshi fighters in the PLO (Fatah faction). Go a little deeper into the memory hole and sediments will darken the third world international. Still, the light was beautiful. Abu Ammar is Coming continues The Young Man Was project’s exploration of the 1970s revolutionary left as a form of tragic utopia. Previous chapters have shown at the 2015 Venice Biennale, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), and the 2011 Sharjah Biennial.[Abu Ammar was the nom de guerre of Yasser Arafat. His Fatah faction of PLO fascinated Bangladesh JSD (National Socialist Party) leader Major Jalil, despite the sharper Marxist tendencies of the George Habash faction.] Picture credit: Volunteers from Bangladesh fighting with Palestinians, 1982 © Chris Steele-Perkins / Magnum Photos The Young Man Was project examines the failures of radical, armed leftist movements of the 1970s. The protagonists often display misrecognition, ending up as an “accidental trojan horse” carrying tragic results to the countries in question (from Japanese hijackers commandeering Dhaka airport for “solidarity,” to migrant labor pipelines transformed into PLO “volunteers”). In spite of its failures, Mohaiemen’s reading of the potential of international left solidarity is still, always, one of hope. The first part (United Red Army, 2011) reconstructs the 1977 hijacking of Japan Airlines Flight 472 through a series of crisply polite negotiation tapes. The second film (Afsan’s Long Day, 2014) addresses the misrecognition of Marxist ideologies from the perspective of a young historian (Afsan Chowdhury, whose diary entry gives the series its name), slaloming between Bangladesh’s summer of tigers, and the German Autumn associated with the Rote Armee Fraktion. The third film (Last Man in Dhaka Central, 2015) traces, in reverse, the journey of Peter Custers, a Dutch journalist jailed in Bangladesh in 1975, accused of belonging to an underground armed Maoist group. A more recent short film, Abu Ammar is Coming (2016), digs into the illusions of a press photograph of “PLO fighters” taken by Chris Steele-Perkins for Magnum. In the form of Peter Custers, who unfortunately passed away in 2015, many of the questions of The Young Man Was project take a personal form. What lies behind utopian hope, especially within the idea of socialism, against the weight of history and experience? What also of the men who survived those terrible times, unlike so many of their comrades, and now spend their waning days in solitary apartments, writing down memories? What was such a man then, and how does he remember himself today? Was he John Reed, recording the Russian Revolution, in the last free moment before the Thermidor? What does it mean to be a survivor and witness—the last man standing on the eve of another collapse, surveying the wreckage of the socialist dream in the middle of a horrific present that teeters on the cusp of the Anthropocene?
Naeem Mohaiemen is a writer and visual artist. Since 2006, he has worked on "The Young Man Was," a series of projects on the 1970s radical left. The first two films in this sequence are "United Red Army" (2012), which premiered at Sharjah Biennial, IDFA, and Hot Docs, and "Afsan`s Long Day" (2014), which premiered at MoMA, New York, and Oberhausen. He is researching the third installment, "Last Man In Dhaka Central" (2015). The project has been supported by grants from Creative Capital, Creative Time, Franklin Furnace, Rhizome, Puffin Foundation, and Arts Network Asia. He is a 2014 Guggenheim Fellow. The works are also in private collections, as well as the permanent collection of the Tate Modern and the British Museum.

Notes on detour and Potentiality
Fiction expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 4:14 | Inde | 2015
Walking towards the commemorative obelisk, the memorial of establishing Delhi as capital of British India, We trace passed the land exactly 101 year after the coronation celebrated there. Nostalgic about the moment in history simultaneously relaxed due to its ruined state, all of our cameras started shooting the actor, unknown character and new encounters. The documented images showed intense moments of repetition and reappearances, where we expose cameras to ourselves in different position, composition and perspective. The video plays with the idea of echo in repeated intervention, engagement and performative ordinary gestures. The cinematic time in loop becomes a still image of walking, looking and hearing as rehearsing, acting bodies and a resurrected site.

Impact-9.2
Vidéo | hdv | couleur et n&b | 10:44 | Pays-Bas | 2016
After a moment of brightness, a memory unit containing 59.049 images is explored from the totality to its individual images, creating connections on various levels in various directions in a shifting dynamic system. Beginning with a sudden and rough recall of memories the information merges with increasing compression in several cycles and repetitive feedback to transform in an almost ad infinitum expanding time space topology of intense subtlety. The visual composition is inverted and disrupted several times by visual blanks of bright white. The original images were taken handheld in 2002/3 when the experience of 9/11 still was present. The composition is made frame by frame using “contact sheets” (6, 5 fps). The integration of the outdated format SD in the more contemporary HD leaves empty space in the memory levels and in the processing levels. The memory unit used in this video is the second out of nine units, which will become one total memory at a later stage covering 30 years from 1985 to 2015. The music composed by Michael Bonaventure (organ sounds) and René Baptist Huysmans (electronic sounds) is inspired by the poem “The Comet at Yalbury” by Thomas Hardy ?
Born in Mainz, Living and working in Amsterdam. Since the late 1980ties systematically exploring processes of perception and experience in installations and "films" referring inter alia to conceptual and minimal art, to the history of early cinematography , the transformation of information, the evolution of (new) media. Working with computer-generated processes combined with manual execution based on a growing photo archive containing at this moment more then 500000 pictures taken from 1985 regarding important moments of modern history as to major and minor personal events.

Vidéo expérimentale | mov | couleur | 10:58 | Pays-Bas, Allemagne | 2023
What role does childhood play in developing experience? How are personal present and past connected in the process of aging? The longing for the places of the personal past was the reason for a trip to Flensburg in 2001 a few weeks before 9/11. More than 2000 photos were taken in just a few days. It was only many years later that the negatives were digitized and it was only more than 20 years later that the need to process these recordings into a composition arose. The turbulent German-Danish history on both sides of today's border and the places of childhood come together in a whole where the past merges into one experience in the now. 3636 images are processed frame by frame in the first 3 movements. Each movement is containing 24 sequences of stills. The amount of images in the stills increases from 4 to 625 images simultaneously. After the first 3 movements the process is repeated towards the infinite to end in structures similar to the layers one would find in rock formations.
Thomas Mohr is exploring processes of perception and memory systematically in performance, painting, video, installations. From 1985 onwards a growing archive containing more then 600000 pictures regarding a wide range of events of transition from a collective meaning to very personal moments. Distributed by LIMA. Sreenings at various festivals since 2009: IFFR/Rotterdam, JMAF/Tokio, Ars Electronica, Transmediale Berlin, IFF Japan, NeMaf/Seoul, IKFF/Hamburg, Jihlava IDFF, HAFF/Utrecht, Media Art Biennale Wro, Rencontres Paris/Berlin, EMAF, Atonal Berlin, Projects with music at Stedelijk Museum, Orgelpark Amsterdam, Edith Russ Haus Oldenburg, CCAM / Scène Nationale de Vandœuvre. Michael Bonaventure , based in Edinburgh & Amsterdam, is composer, organist and collaborator in new and experimental music projects; Extended cyclic works predominate in his output including huge body of electronic and electro-acoustic pieces as well as instrumental and organ music. From a sonic universe deriving its inspiration from mysticism and ritual, natural and imaginary worlds, astronomical and supernatural phenomena.

Habitat 2.4
Film expérimental | mov | couleur et n&b | 20:24 | Pays-Bas | 2020
"Habitat 2.4" est la première collaboration entre le vidéaste Thomas Mohr et le compositeur Reinier van Houdt. Thomas Mohr traite plus de 7000 photos prises à chaque instant pendant ses explorations des quartiers de Noisy-le-Grand, Nanterre et Paris dans le cadre d'un projet plus vaste sur l'expérience de l'espace public début 2019, juste avant le premier confinement. Reiner Van Houdt utilise du "found sound" provenant de situations et d'appareils qui transcendent la distance, comme les trains, les radios, les télévisions, les satellites de la NASA, le réseau électrique, les téléphones portables, les oscillateurs - tous captés à la frontière entre la nature cyclique des sons stationnaires ou "gelés", et les sons transitoires du mouvement rapide. Dans "Habitat 2.4", au premier niveau de traitement, Mohr compose et structure son matériel photographique dans un système temporel qui se rapproche à bien des égards de la mesure habituelle du temps, mais qui est plus dynamique. L'expérience du moment présent, avec son avant et son après, la transformation du présent en passé, est réassemblée de manière répétitive dans une structure de cadres, de séquences et d'unités. Reiner Van Houdt a composé des structures rigides et fermées, et a peuplé cette architecture de blocs sonores complexes créés à partir de sons trouvés, qui déforment, réarrangent ou ravagent sa structure, pour montrer la glorieuse impossibilité de contenir la matière sonore - comme un défi à la contingence.

Depuis 1985, il construit une archive encore en expansion, composée de plus de 600000 photos - concernant un large éventail d'événements de transition, s’étendant d'un sens collectif à des moments très personnels – ainsi que des milliers de captures d'écran tirées de médias sociaux. Il vit et travaille à Amsterdam (Pays-Bas), et est distribué par LIMA. Depuis 2009 son travail a été projeté dans divers festivals, notamment au Festival international du film de Rotterdam (Pays-Bas); au JMAF – Japan Media Art Festival, Tokyo (Japon); à Ars Electronica, Linz (Autriche); à la Transmediale, Berlin (Allemagne); au Japan Media Arts Festival (Japon); au NeMaf – Seoul International New Media Festival, Séoul (Corée du Sud); au IKFF – Internationales Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg, Hambourg (Allemagne); au Jihalva International Documentary Film Festival, Jihalva (République tchèque); au HAFF – Holland Animation Film Festival, Utrecht (Pays-Bas); à la Media Art Biennale Wro, Wroclaw (Pologne); aux Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin (France/Allemagne); au European Media Art Festival, Osnabrück (Allemagne); et à Berlin Atonal (Allemagne). Reinier van Houdt est compositeur/musicien. Il vit à Rotterdam (Pays-Bas). Il utilise le piano, des objets et le field recording. Il a développé une fascination pour les matières qui échappent à la notation: le son, le timing, l'espace, la physicalité, la mémoire, le bruit, l'environnement - des éléments qui vont au-delà de la composition, de l'interprétation et de l'improvisation. En dehors de son propre travail, il a collaboré avec Robert Ashley, Annea Lockwood, John Cage, Alvin Curran, Michael Pisaro, Francisco Lopez, Alessandro Bosetti, Christian Marclay et Luc Ferrari. Il a donné des performances au festival CTM Berlin (Allemagne); au Meltdown London, Londres (Royaume-Uni); à Alternativa Moscow, Moscou (Russie); au festival AngelicA, Bologne (Italie); au Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Huddersfield (Royaume-Uni); au festival Unsound, Cracovie (Pologne); à Art Basel Hong Kong (Chine); et au Primavera Sound Festival, Barcelone (Espagne). Reinier van Houdt fait également partie du groupe de David Tibet, Current 93, et a travaillé avec Takashi Makino sur son film "Memento Stella".

From Berlin to Hiroshima, from Hiroshima to Berlin. From Past to Now, from Now to Past. Connecting events, remembering the suffering of war and new beginnings. Observations. 7 identical defined time units each containing a series of 24 progressing intervals of shifting box systems descending from 25x25=625 to 2x2=4 images. The construction of each unit is exactly the same, the content of each unit is entirely individual. Walking through a winter night in Berlin, going from Miyajima island to Hiroshima, the experience of My Facebook Timeline Having devastating destruction in mind and reconstruction. Straight forward, up side down, rotating. Positive, negative. Complex layers, more complex layers. Text, subtext.

Zu Hanne Darboven
Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 8:27 | Pays-Bas | 2014
Is it possible to understand the work of the artist and composer Hanne Darboven (1941 - 2009) famous for her large scale installation containing thousands of drawings and notes? The project Zu / On Hanne Darboven is an exploration of herless known music in relation to her visual oeuvre. Abschliessend (In conclusion) is based on 1853 pictures handheld taken- as meticolous as possible - very close to the details of the works in the last space of the exhibition “The order of time and things. The home studio of Hanne Darboven” organised by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Deichtorhallen Hamburg - Sammlung Falckenberg in collaboration with the Hanne Darboven. The music is the last part of Hanne Darbovens Requiem recorded in eleven volumes. The pictures are processed in still compositions frame by frame in a series of cycles increasingly compressing the original information.
Living and working in Amsterdam. Since the late 1980ties systematically exploring processes of perception and experience in installations and "films" referring inter alia to conceptual and minimal art, to the history of early cinematography , the transformation of information, the evolution of (new) media. Working with computer-generated processes combined with manual execution based on a growing photo archive containing at this moment more then 500000 pictures regarding major and minor personal and historic events. Main themes recently the reverberation of historic incidents and and the intertwined relations of culture. Thomas Mohr’s particular way of composing films since 2008 begins with smallest elements - taking single images. This material is processed in repetitive steps to higly compressed structures where the visual properties are almost dissolved. Since 2010 works specifically related to the body of work of Hanne Darboven. Now working on constructing an episodic memory covering the information of 30 years (1985-2015).

No Time for Video

Time is the main determinant of the events, a dimension that defines the place of an object in the vast space More specific manner rather than relying on the three main dimensions (length - width - height) where you can not any event in the universe characterization without the addition of a fourth dimension. Thus, the movement of objects may be a relative change with time, and the concept of time is no longer a constant.
