Nein!
Hansa Gymnasium, Cologne 1996

In the preliminary stages of the UNESCO exhibition project "Art Special Hansa" in Cologne's Hansagymnasium, I held a workhops with the students about what it means to say "No".

This functioned as a mirror and cast the video image onto the blackboard.

Paris 57, 1984
The experimental film "PARIS 57" is based on a photo album documenting one year which my parents have spent together in Paris before they decided to marry. In 1984 those photographs have been taken to Paris again in search for the locations shown in the pictures from 1957. The film is an attempt to appropiate a specific time, in a also for me well known City, essentially not experienced by myself, but by my genitors. The film consist mostly of superimposed camera movements and images from 1957 and 1984 all composed inside my Single 8 Film Camera without direct visiual controll. The strinkt documentation of each take-up determined the storyboard as well as the final result in an open ongoing process, which left space to react towards the unforeseen…

Technical data: Single-8 Film with double or more exposures inside the filmkamera - not in postproduction. Made in Paris and Münster 1984. Assistance: Agnes Forsthuber, Soh-Yong Park and Wolfram Schwegmann.
