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.

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.

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.

She settled on sound, and began pursuing sound design at the Filmakademie in Baden-Württemberg.
