Flashmob Mp3 Experiment in Berlin

Here is one of many MP3 experiments, part of the project Improv Everywhere, from the American artist and comedian Charlie Todd. This event took place in Alexander Platz, Berlin and was a performance organized by Interfilm Short Film Festival. I had lots of fun when cutting and editing this material for Hobnox. I wish I was part of it. If you can not see the video click Flashmob Mp3 Experiment video.

Paper Plaines - short movie

A short B-movie about ... a reporter who finds a body in Media Docks and does an investigation trying to find the criminal ... but ... something terrifying follows him.

Ice - desert media environment

Ice is a short movie about the history of media in a desert landscape. This was made during the Summer School Art Camp "Whale in the Baltic" in Nida, Lithuania. Besides students (from KHM, ISNM and VDA) Miga and the Superfactory collective realized a Radio ("do it yourself") Party Workshop that was incredible fun.

Ex-quisite Pain - Sophie Calle and fire in Nida

This short movie was realized during the Summer School Art Camp "Whale in the Baltic"- an international, art and intercultural Exchange programme with students from Media schools in Nida, Lithuania. During three weeks students from KHM, ISNM and VDA enjoyed free time and creation.

I had the idea to do this short movie after I saw the burned woods. I wanted to combine this sensation with images from the book Exquisite Pain by Sophie Calle. This book suggests for me the pain of the burning tree. Here you can see the trailer of this short movie. If you can not see the video click Ex-quisite Pain video.

Stranieri - immigration documentary

During my studies in Rome, Italy at Tor Vergata I conducted together with Tanja Weber a documentary about immigrants from Italy and Germany. What makes people leave from both countries is the hope for a better life: to have a job and a house. I did this documentary to show the problems they encountered, the bureaucracy of the system and in the same time their habits of spending the free time and bringing the culture into these countries.
