This
video is based on studio shots that were made during a seminar
on animation techniques and the combination of image types
(mixing) in video recording and processing at the DFFB (German
Film and Television Academy Berlin). Into the 1:500 architectural
model for a new film academy at Potsdamer Platz (design: Karin
Rühle) I projected visions of a dark interior, in which
the light liberates itself from the „objects“.
Exerpts from H.G. Well's story „The country of the Blind“
present a race that has been isolated for over a century in
a valley high up in the Andes and whose people are so blind
that they no longer even know what „to see“ means
and what vision is for.
