film-loop, 16mm, colour, 4:26 minutes, mute, 2005

In January 2005, we asked the artists of Gallery Eigen+Art in Berlin and Leipzig, during their preparation for the "portrait" exhibition at E+A, to look into the lens of a 16 mm Bolex film camera and think about the future for 10 seconds. Inspired by the “thought photography“ in the early times of photography, as researchers like Marie Curie found out about the phenomena to visualize radiation.

"10 seconds thinking about the future", Multiscreen video installation for Moere Snowscape, Sapporo 2009, in collaboration with Shinichiro Akasaka, architect, Sapporo

About Film Installation

For the Snowscape Moere Festival, a winter art exhibition at the Moerenuma Park in Sapporo, we realised a multiscreen video installation in collaboration with the architect Shinichiro Akasaka. On a number of tents, made of semitransparent snow-resistant cloth, that correspond with the glass pyramid of Isamu Noguchi in a temporary skyline, we projected 5 videos with portraits of people of different european and japanese cities, that think about the future for 10 seconds. It is an elusive image, just like a snowflake.
