Breathing Landscapes

Breathing Landscapes

Breathing and metabolism have become major issues in my current artistic explorations. The 16mm multiple exposure film Breathing Landscapes (4′, 18 f/s) has been made in Spring 2023.

Furthermore, I began to work with cyanotype on fabric in order to engage with the landscape of my childhood. I also experimented with cameraless methods. Plant Lights (2022, 4′, 18 f/s) is a 16mm film that reacts with blossoms and elements of plants.

In this article, I will introduce my explorations with cameraless photochemical film processes, among them cyanotype. I work with fabric, nontoxic chemicals, light, air, and water in order to engage with natural materials the environment is made of. Focusing on metabolic conversions, I am particularly interested in the development of an approach which is based… Continue Reading

Weaving a connective tissue: A fabric that mediates exchange. The word ‚textus‘, borrowed from Latin, is being used in a metaphorical way. In Stitches in the Heart (2019), a multiple exposure 16 mm short film of a minimally invasive cardiac surgery on the mitral valve, I traced the processes of sewing. The operation was performed… Continue Reading

Visceral Operations / Assemblage

    Actual artistic research project (FWF: 2019-23) – The endeavor will explore the increasing shift of meaning of the hand in surgery caused by the application of digital technologies. The use of technological aids to enhance the physical capabilities of physicians leads to fundamental changes in the clinical practice and medical education. The act… Continue Reading
