BRUDINA by Dragos Hanciu
Documentary, 2014
Brudina (a local word defining the floating bridge connecting the shores of a river) is a documentary essay about isolation, loneliness, and destiny. The life of the two protagonists is depicted in recurrent, concise detail, alternating with poetic, deeply atmospheric frames. The film reveals in no more than 17 minutes, a small revolute universe, a narrow world consisting only of the water flow, the two, shores, the movement of the floating bridge, the tension of the anchor chain cables and the gliding movement of the pulleys.
Kontrapunkt by Karl Salzmann
Video (2 min 39 sec/2014)
Die Gegenstimme wird in der Musiktheorie als Kontrapunkt bezeichnet.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein Mikrofon als Metapher für die Gegenstimme eingesetzt und so der Versuch unternommen, aktuelle gesellschaftliche Ereignisse zu reflektieren.
HIDE AWAY by Michael Koch
Michael Koch´s poetic summer view, like a kaleidoscope of female clothes in an canadian garden, is kind of meditation. The perfect video to unwind in a hot summer city.
This project deals with the daily surveillance as well as the new codices of the society of the 21st century. Some people believe that codes, created by big brands will replace laws and the traditional structures of our political systems. The artist Michael Koch deals with technical interventions and political requests combined with visual aperance.
