Multispecter Video - Ensouled Multipicture Carpets πππ
Ten- two hands- this is the number of those Videos.
The idea for Multispecter Videos arised during a travel through South- and Centralvietnam from November 2015 to February 2016. I found there my own pictures by putting different videos together, by arranging and finally composing them. I created a new video as a composition of more than one videos with same theme or an associated theme, but with another start, another speed or another perspective, by zooming, mirroring, looping or stoping the video. The composition or collage of videos is inspired by the great vietnamese Kitchen: Hot spicy soup with a lot lot of fresh herbage, cinnamon, cardamon and sugar- but I mixed slow videos with fast videos or a close-up view with a long shot. But the new video should include the soul of the theme like a carped of videos wich starts having it`s own life- a living carpet. The titels were added to intensify the relationship between the content of the songs or poems and the carpets, the style is inspired by Alexander Kluge.

During my studies (pedagogy, philosophy) I earned my money as a film presenter for an arthouse cinema (more than 500 movies) and for the Filmakademie Baden- WΓΌrttemberg.
In Winter 2015/16 I was traveling trough South and Central Vietnam and there - in contact with another culture - I developed my own compositions of moving pictures.
Currently I am studying psychoanalysis - in my films I work i.a. with motives and feelings from dreams.
βFor the filmmaker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.β
