MARCELLVS L. – VIDEORHIZOM

Since 2002 Marcellvs L. (*1980 in Belo Horizonte/ Brazil) has been working on what he calls the VideoRhizome – a series of (so far) 28 short video pieces that neither follow a chronological sequence nor link together in content.

FRÉDÉRIC MOSER UND PHILIPPE SCHWINGER

Frédéric Moser and Philippe Schwinger draw on a repertoire of imagery that embraces media events and war reporting, but also independent film and fringe theatre. The last of these references is especially significant, not least because when the two artists began working together – and before they studied art – they were running the theatre company “l’atelier ici et maintenant” in Lausanne from 1988 to 1991. Working with theatrical spaces and modes of representation is therefore one of their distinctive hallmarks.

SVEN JOHNE

Sven Johne cannot be pinned down to one artistic discipline. He is a photographer and video artist, but above all a storyteller, researcher and explorer. He uses a variety of media, including video, photography and prose, to describe (among other things) his search for a pack of wolves allegedly roaming free close to the Polish border, or Alfred Kleistner’s spectacular escape from what was once East Germany.

CHRISTIAN JANKOWSKI

Christian Jankowski is screening three films from the years 2008 and 2010 at the Berlinische Galerie, where he has integrated them into a work conceived especially for the museum called “The Will of the Curator”.

AGNIESZKA POLSKA

Remembering the past is a central theme in the videos of the young Polish artist Agnieszka Polska (*1985). We see here, for example, how she reconstructs the performance of a Polish artist from the 1960s in the form of a re-enactment, describes the plundering of abandoned houses in Poland during the 1940s through fantastical animated images, and reconstructs masterpieces of 20th-century art history by reproducing them as miniatures.

JOÃO PENALVA

João Penalva’s films in no way comply with our conventional understanding of film. All his films are conceived to provoke four separate, simultaneous perceptions: of what you see, of what you hear, of what you read and of what you visualise. For curious, engaged and active viewers these films create a personal, unique experience – allowing them to view two films simultaneously: One on the screen, the other one in their heads alone.
