Doc. expérimental | 4k | couleur | 28:40 | Allemagne | 2023
For Bond (2023), Anna Witt collaborated with the members of Youth Forum Gröpelingen. The video that arises from this collaboration, explores the ways which the young people position themselves against the past of this district, perceive its present and consider their future. Together we explored visual and performative spaces to activate forms of solidarity and empowerment in Gröpelingen, a district historically marked by industry and migration. Archival images about strikes and protests of the first generation of so called “guestworkers”, became the backdrops for the film and a tool to reflect on the past, in order to produce their own position for the future. What images do we want to see in the collective memory and how have ideas about self-positioning, discrimination and cultural diversity changed in the eyes of today’s young generation in Gröpelingen? The members of the group are at the same time protagonists in the film and directing the choreographies, in order to keep the control over the images being produced about themselves.
Anna Witt, born in 1981 in Germany, lives and works in Vienna. Working with performative intervention and video installation, her practice deals with the construction of cultural stereotypes and individuals positioning within social systems. Her works ambivalently sit between fictional re-enactment and documentary staging and represent the problematic of subject-formation in relation to identity politics, collectivity and citizenship rights. Recently her work has been shown at Galerie Tanja Wagner, Berlin, 2014 (solo show), An I for an Eye, Austrian Cultural Forum, New York , Risc Society, MOCA Museum of Contemporary ArtTaipei, Taiwan; Fremd & Eigen, Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbruck ; Emscherkunst 13, Triennale Ruhrgebiet (Kat.); Over the Rainbow, Kunstmuseum St. Gallen; We only dream of places and resistance, for now, Lux/ICA Biennial of Moving Images, London In 2013 she received the BC21 Art Award from Boston Consulting and Belvedere Contemporary, Vienna.

Somewhere in Denmark Eyad is practicing Japanese. He is alone in his room and sleeps several days in a row. He fled through Europe from Syria. Inam is in her kitchen roasting almond for Maklouba. She is his mother. The extractor hood in her new kitchen doesn’t work properly. In a letter read for Eyad, we learn that the narrator’s mother has died. The two of them meet in this longing for something. Can we say farewell to what was in the past to live in what comes next? Through silent pictures, Sayonara (Goodbye) explores the condition of being lost.

Vanitas
Film expérimental | dcp | couleur | 13:21 | Danemark | 2022
VANITAS refers to baroque still life paintings where the things around us are staged to symbolize both impermanence and vanity. The film VANITAS will take you into a dark and dreamy world of queer bodies and symbols ruled by change. Here you will meet the precariousness of finding intimacy and meaning in landscapes dictated by binaries. Flowers wither, fruit rot and glass break. Nothing is forever. VANITAS is performed by professional dancers, performers and singers to a poetic sound collage of popmusic. The film is filled with ambivalence and everything is in a constant state of transformation.

Blind Audition
Fiction expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 21:30 | Suisse | 2023
The visual isolation of the performers is intended to facilitate an objective assessment of sound performance. It is interesting to note that this acousmatic situation, so to speak, is visually extremely powerful and inevitably generates a cinematic effect. It is not for nothing that the term “voyeurism” has no acoustic counterpart. Together, composer and media artist Jannik Giger and scenographer Demian Wohler develop a kind of intermedia limbo, within which music, film scene and exhibition become entangled in multiple gazing.
Demian Wohler is a freelance scenographer and artist. Interested in complex project developments, surreal scripts, immersive installations, ghost trains, overlength evenings, participatory art and cross-competence, collective work.? Born 1984 in Zug (CH). Studied scenography at the Kunsthochschule in Basel, graduating in 2009. From 2006, he toured the German-speaking theater landscape with the independent theater group FARADAYCAGE for six years (Gessnerallee Zurich - HAU Berlin - Theaterformen Hannover - Festival Impulse etc.) and resided with the group at Theater Basel from 2012-2015. Since then, he has worked at various municipal theaters, but also in other contexts. He realized a dance film in Tbilisi with the Morphological Institute, a set design for a TV series and three feature-length films, co-founded the Social Muscle Club Basel and in 2017/18 was head of set design at Theater Oberhausen, where he won the Theaterfreunde Prize with his first directorial work. Most recently, he conceived and realized two installative music films together with composer Jannik Giger, made Götterdämmerung with director Marco Storman and Mein Herz dein Bunker with director Paula Thielecke. The Basel-based composer and video artist Jannik Giger completed a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Media Art at the Bern University of the Arts with Daniel Weissberg and Michael Harenberg as well as a Master of Arts in Composition at the Lucerne University of Music with Dieter Ammann. In 2015 he completed his Master of Arts in Specialized Music Performance ( Composition ) at the Basel Conservatory with Michel Roth and Erik Ona. With his compositions and video works, he is active both in contemporary music as well as in the context of fine arts. The questioning of media and art productions can be found throughout his entire work and is clearly visible in art genre-crossing pieces. A central focus of his work lies on the engagement with staging rituals in the art and music business. Video and sound as forms of transformation-, interference- and communication processes are integral parts of his artistic work. Recurring themes of his work are hierarchical relationships and interactions between author, interpreter, and the piece itself. Jannik Giger’s compositional signature is characterized by the organic integration of foreign material into his own sound language. He lets tonal and harmonic sounds shimmer through, but cleverly complements and surrounds them with microtonal discolorations and leaves room for the various sound worlds to unfold, to collide lustfully and finally to grow together anew. Jannik Giger’s works are internationally received in the context of music, film and art. For example, at the Wigmore Hall London, as part of the Ultraschall Berlin Festival, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Swiss Art Awards, the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, the Theater Basel, the Bern Music Festival or the Gare Du Nord in Basel. His compositions are performed by a wide variety of formations. These include the soloist ensemble Kaleidoscope Berlin, the Arditti Quartet, the Ensemble Mosaik, the Mondrian Ensemble Basel, Sarah Maria Sun & Nina Janssen-Deinzer, the Trio Rafale, the Ensemble Phoenix and the Basel Sinfonietta. Jannik Giger has won several prizes and awards, including studio scholarships in London ( Foundation Landis & Gyr ), Berlin ( Atelier Mondial ), Sri Lanka ( Swiss Cultural Foundation Pro Helvetia ) or contributions from the Fondation Nicati-de Luze, from the Swiss Cultural Foundation Pro Helvetia, from Kulturelles BS / BL, the Canton of Solothurn, the UBS Cultural Foundation, the Lions Club Basel as well as 2013 the promotional award for music of the Canton Solothurn.

Sparks
Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 0:0 | Pologne, 0 | 2019
Sparks is a multidimensional portrait of a forgotten but still raging contemporary European conflict: the war in Ukraine. Ukrainians are fighting each other, with government forces on one side and pro-Russian separatists on the other. Wiktoria Wojciechowska went in search of combatants and victims to recount its impact on the lives of ordinary people. The title, Sparks, refers to incandescent shrapnel that mercilessly pierces the walls of houses. Civilians living near the front call it ??????? or iskry, in Ukrainian. Looking up at a hail of burning fragments, they know it is already too late to seek shelter. The "sparks" signal death and fear. Combining photographs, collage, film, symbolic images of armed conflict with pictures and words collected from combatants, Sparks offers several perceptions of war.
Wiktoria Wojciechowska is a multimedia artist, working with photography, video, collage, installation and books. Born in 1991 in Lublin, Poland and graduated with honors from Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Lives and works in Lublin and Paris. Wiktoria Wojciechowska was the 2015 winner of the Oskar Barnack Leica Newcomer Award for Short Flashes, portraits of drenched cyclists captured on the streets of Chinese's metropolis. Between 2014 and 2016, she accomplished Sparks, a portrait of the contemporary war in Ukraine, based on the stories of people living in a war-torn country. This series received several awards, such as Les Rencontres d'Arles 2108 New Discovery award's public prize, Madame Figaro prize and the Prix pour la Photographie, Fondation des Treilles. "Sparks" has been featured in numerous exhibitions such as Les Rencontres d'Arles 2018 in France; Jimei X Arles festival in Xiamen, China; Krakow Photomonth in Poland, The Museum of Photography in Riga, Latvia, Exhibition Bureau in Warsaw, Poland.

In Camera Proceedings
Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 4:0 | Allemagne | 2017
In Camera Proceedings is an intervention that challenges Googles Earth`s practice of scanning, modelling and storing our world. Google’s process involves a combination of aircraft imagery and satellite photos. These are pushed through image analysis and photogrammetry softwares that reconstruct 3D models of the area photographed. The 3D models created are stored on Google’s servers, they are not available for download. Our cities have been modelled digitised and then locked away. Google`s algorithms erase all inhabitants from these models. The digital world is not meant for human habitation. We can not change it edit it, or rebuild it. We can only passively observe. In Camera Proceedings challenges this. It does not accept Google`s policy. The work visualises the technical process of taking back our space, it`s a tutorial in how to take back our virtual world. A virtual drone is programmed to fly through Google Earth taking hundreds of pictures of the digital terrain. These photos are then run through the same algorithms as the images taken by Google`s aircraft. We scan the scan and then upload it to a server where any one can download it, own it and change it.

Kolonie
Installation vidéo | 4k | couleur | 24:32 | Australie, Allemagne | 2017
One of several videos made for the 2017 HIGHNESS performance and video series. Kolonie is an experimentation with the immobilising effects and machinations of the production of iconic images. Working with two bee-keepers and their bees to create a living crown on top of the artist`s head, Kolonie seeks to critically render visible the fact that a queen's image is often only fierce through the work of many hands. And a desire to rule can rot very quickly.
Melanie Jame Wolf is an Australian born artist who lives and works between Melbourne and Berlin. She makes work about economies. Sometimes solo, sometimes with friends. Always exploring systems of value and exchange, particularly as they occur in the murky field of immaterial capital… the social, the cultural, the affective. She investigates these flows as they are produced through ideas of ghosts, of gender, of pop, of myth, of morality, of sensuality, of class.

Possessed
Création numérique | hdv | noir et blanc | 9:20 | USA | 2010
With my film film, Possessed. I had a strong, slightly illicit, urge to commandeer the original train sequence from the 1931 film Possessed and make it move in such a way as to give the girl (Joan Crawford) what she thought she wanted: a position on the inside. To do that, I had to create my own (all encompassing) vehicle. By my count, the original sequence provides three orders of motion: the motion (and stillness) of the passengers on the train, the motion of the train itself, and finally the motion of the girl (Joan) outside of the train. By injecting my own additional level of motion, I was able to move Joan from her position on the outside looking in (played melodramatically as desire?s longing for the just-out-of-reach) to a position inside, looking around (played as pure vision). But maybe that?s really just my fanciful imagining and, as such, pretty much situates me in Joan?s original position: projecting desire onto a handy passing vehicle. In the end, at least this much is true: we both love staring into this passing train. In fact, we never seem to tire of it.

Performance | dv | couleur | 0:36 | Nouvelle-Zélande, USA | 2008
Workman prend une voie peu orthodoxe, en bas de l'escalier ? en partie « parkour » (art du déplacement), en partie graffiti physiques.
Le travail de l'artiste consiste principalement à introduire des gestes, des textes et des objets dans l'espace public. L'artiste s'intéresse à l?introduction subtile d?interventions minimales et calmes dans le flux de la vie quotidienne. Il essaie de ne pas différencier l?« art-pratique » de la « pratique de la vie ». À cette fin, il a créé des interventions sur son lieu de travail, dans des espaces de vente au détail, dans les trains, les parcs, sur le trottoir. Ces interventions sont poétiques, éphémères et souvent à petite échelle, c?est pourquoi, il arrive que seul un petit nombre de gens les remarque. Le souhait de l?artiste est de réussir à obtenir un sourire, une pause, un moment de désorientation chez ce petit nombre de personnes. Son travail est intuitif et exploratoire. Il cherche des opportunités par lesquelles s?engager, en jouant, dans les aspects de notre réalité quotidienne.

Everyday Vrealities
VR expérimental | 4k | couleur | 0:0 | Finlande | 2021
Everyday Vrealities is a virtual reality documentary about different kinds of families, homes and ways of life. The viewer can, using their VR-headset, walk freely around from home to home, and witness everyday scenes happening in front of them. The film consist of nine homes, each linked to another. The viewer can witness a father playing games with his daughter, a couple doing yoga, a mother helping her son do his homework, an elderly mother teaching her daughter how to make pottery, a kid doing somersaults, a family with their newborn etc. The viewer can also re-enter some of the rooms to see new scenes. In the film there are no interviews or backstories. It is not a film of big emotions, but more of reflections and observation. It is in a sense “slow tv”, with seemingly nothing much happening. We can using the free movement in the space to quietly observe an everyday event unfolding, and even revisit it later if we want. The combined length of all clips is around 50 minutes.

Darkness Within Darkness
Vidéo expérimentale | mov | couleur et n&b | 6:30 | Taiwan | 2020
Il s'agit d'une vidéo réalisée sur papier, composée d'images numériques et de matériaux physiques, et qui explore l'essence des images en mouvement. J'ai divisé la vidéo numérique au ratio filmique de 24 images par seconde. Grâce au processus de transformation numérique par impression et numérisation, la vidéo recomposée se situe entre mouvement et immobilité, virtuel et concret, numérique et matériel. Ces contrastes ont ainsi été mis en relation avec la philosophie orientale du taoïsme, "un corps avec deux côtés". Dans cette vidéo, j'ai essayé de visualiser cette loi naturelle abstraite, qui échappe à toute description. Le Tao est vide mais inépuisable, caché mais toujours présent, un mode de vie mais pas une vérité localisable. "darkness within darkness" cherche, de la même manière, à comprendre le contraste même entre l'établi (matériel) et l'abstrait (numérique), en révélant le temps invisible de l'image.
