Finissage on Wednesday 8 October from 7 to 10pm -
Video screening
With a video screening ends the exhibition Is it Real? The screening wants to show the Reality of the Fiction through its Representation. On display 7 artists from different countries, each one of them uses the Media with a particular approach: from 3d animation to super8 film, from abstract to conceptual, from real to surreal.
Elena Bellantoni
Italian artist, (1975) she lives and works in Berlin.
Elena Bellantoni works with video, performance and painting. Her research focuses on the relationship between the body and space, she is interested in the stereotypes related to the woman body. In the last year she developed a series of video and paintings, connected in different ways and approaches to this kind of dilemma: the lightness, the irony, the fragility of the body into the space such as city, houses, and in the society.In her video Life Jacket she trays to use the city as an experiment, she generates a city action to have a re-action; her points is to feel the urban space and the mass, to do this Elena put herself in a current and against it, the result is a disparate and surreal action.Duration 1:00 min. Year: 2007
Petra Couwenbergs
German artist, she (1973) lives and works in Berlin.She has received her diploma in Visual Communication from University of the Arts Berlin, Class of Professor Heinz Emigholz, Experimental Film and Videoinstallation.Disguised in the shade of the night someone shouts: Silencio! The lyrics along with this scene go: One hand doesn't know what the other one is doing, sitting on a chess game square juggling values (…). Couwenbergs challenges the viewers visual perception. The 20th century definition about reality: "only what we can see is real", gets dissolved by including psychological and socio-cultural perspectives on visual perception, like the projection of suppressed contents onto the outside world as well as the visual education of the subject by its socio-cultural surroundings.Duration 3:51 min. Year: 2008
Nick Dewar
New Zealand artist, (1979) he lives and works in Berlin.Dewar works with digital and analog installations, and decaying works on canvas. His works concerning on the idea that television has a big influence on human reality, in some way it's destroying human reality. This domestic transmitter of information can construct beliefs about far away places or events we have not experienced ourselves. "…end_transmission…" allows us to see through a portal into a parallel world, where the television has become corrupt and infected to the point where it has begun to distort reality and take on animalistic behavior.
Duration 2:44 min. Year: 2008
Bruno Di Lecce
Italian artist, (1980) he lives and works in Berlin.He is an architect, painter, photographer and video maker. His work examines intersections and contamination; objects and images become signs or symptoms of a transition of place and time. The work becomes an interstice; a description of what has already happened in the places and objects represented. The audience is thus encouraged to take another position when thinking about these transitional spaces. Corto Circuito (Short Circuit) is a series of videos, using found footage belonging to the artist's family. This super-8 film, covering the span of two generations, captures cyclical, sacred, and profane events. This reuse of recorded reality radically revisits meaning and the notion of leaving.Duration 4:19 min. Year: 2007
Marco Giani
Italian artist, (1973) he lives and works in Berlin.Marco Giani works with video, sound installation and digital images. His research investigates the Reality of the images generated by Mass Media and its effects on brain structures. He uses sourced images from (Internet, Tv, Movies, Magazines) as Ready made material and derelict images that have to be saved from the over fluxing garbage imaginary, or as a raw material that, with an opposite movement, he destroys and transfigures until a no return point.In his video Is it Real? a photograph from the Paul Lobe Haus in Berlin, is transformed into a video tunnel, representing the liquidity of Reality's perception.Duration 3:20 min. Year: 2008
Christian Niccoli
Italian artist, (1976) he lives and works in Berlin.Christian Niccoli mainly works with film and video. In his artistic research he investigates relationships between individuals in a familiar and amicable as well as a partnership based context; and consequently the desires, dreams and expectations connected with our living together. The video Development in a delimited space. The matching suits shows the behaviours of nine points framed within a rectangle; these points represent the youth of a small town, living an entire live in the same place (a rectangle). Aesthetically inspired by video games of the 1980s, the development of the nine points reflects, as if it were a game, the behaviour and decisions of each member in choosing a partner in a delimited space and time. The animation is a reflection on love: is love determinate by a self-motivated process? Can it also be found, if "chosen", in front of the own eyes?Duration 1:00 min. Year: 2001
Daniel Urria
Chilean artist, (1976) he lives and works in Berlin.Daniel Urria studied fine arts in Santiago de Chile and experimental media in Berlin where he resides since 2003. His work has been shown in festivals and exhibitions throughout Europe and Chile.His work deals with spaces and situations that gain an hermetic quality through constant repetition. A tautological strategy that gives the images an often desolated appeal.
In Botánica, a prolific thicket of botanical drawings is the beginning and end for a masked man that walks through a soft, hermetic and constantly mutating nature, dissolving in it. Allusion is made to the baroque dimension of the park as a stage: venue for games and transformations.Duration 4:48 min. Year: 2005
