Vorstellungen / Pre-Notions

1:35 min | 2018 | HD (16:9) | col | stereo | OV (nodialog)

Pre-Notions arose out of the exhibition project “Monuments for a patch of grass in Wolfsburg”. The film is a montage of individual, location-related videos. – For the creation of each video I had the following routine: I met up with fellow artists from the project at the location where they wanted to realise their work. We talked about how they envisioned their piece and what they were about to do. I then asked them to film me standing in front of their absent piece, performing the body postures they had assumed when talking about how they imagined their work.

Blastogenesis II fantasize Evolution between science fiction images out from the 1950s and images of queer and bizzare experimental films. A film who shows creatures between human and animal, born out of a plant seed pouch in a setting of world end. It shows birthing, living and scoring like in nature documentaries , but with the aspect of drag, which brings up the question about fetishism and experimental porn.

Nichts bleibt (Nothing left)

3:50 min | 2019 | HD (16:9) | col | sound | OVdt

A philosophical film about the transience of everything and the traces left behind.
The time that changes our lives every second, enriches, encloses, shortens, fulfills. We see a changing mass that is fleeting, unique, ephemeral and beautiful at the same time, combined with a spoken poetic text about life. It is surreal.

Derhoske (‘1987) machte zunächst eine Ausbildung zur Fotomedienlaborantin und studiert seit dem Wintersemester 2013 Freie Kunst an der Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig. Nach der Grundklasse bei Aurelia Mihai kam der Wechsel in die Fachklasse „Filmklasse“ zu Michael Brynntrup (mit dem Schwerpunkt Experimentalfilm). – Die Arbeiten schwanken zwischen Melancholie und Absurdität. Das Alltägliche spielt eine wesentliche Rolle. Der Blick hinter Fassaden des menschlichen Seins. Es geht um das Offenlegen von Emotionen, das Spielen mit dem Gegebenen, das Sichtbar machen des Unsichtbaren.

Maleen Harlan (*1991 in Bielefeld) has been a member of Michael Brynntrup‘s film class since October 2019. She discovered her passion for film making early on. Following her graduation from school, she interned with a filmmaker in Los Angeles. After completing her internship, she studied at the European Filmcollege in Denmark where she was able to try different areas of film making. She settled on sound, and began pursuing sound design at the Filmakademie in Baden-Württemberg. After some time she felt the urge to realize her own artistic ideas and she decided to change direction and study fine arts at the HBK Braunschweig.

Meyrick Kaminski (*1982 in Melbourne, Australia) completed his Bachelor of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia. He continued his studies under Candice Breitz at the HBK Braunschweig (Germany) and completed his Diplom in 2016. Kaminski is a multi-media artist with strong roots in video, installation, and sound design. In his oeuvre Kaminski seeks to understand the contemporary moment, a process which brings him back continually to the rhymes of the past and the mediation of the image through the organs of the media. He is currently Meisterschüler in the class of Michael Brynntrup.

Conrad Veit (*1987) lives in Brunswick and works as a publicist and freelance artist who focuses on experimental film and video installation. Currently he is studying Fine Arts at the University of Arts in Brunswick, previously he studied Linguistic, Literature and Art History. Conrad Veit forms a contrast to naturalistic and high definition images.
