Osttirol Infrared

Art Project | Photography

In this photographic series, I reconnected with the eco-system and nature surrounding my home country Osttirol and captured moments (shortly before and after thunderstorms) with infrared photography. This technique enables the viewer to perceive wavelenghts of light that otherwise are not visible to the human eye. The pictures mirror a deceiving and tragic beauty: Burning red trees, drying-out glacier lakes and rushing waterfalls, that carry down water from glaciers, desert-like alpine mountainscapes.

Radiospotting

ART PROJECT

When the city of Linz was the European Capital of Culture in 2009, we developed and curated a memorable and subversive art project, that aimed to merge literatur, sound-art and activism. We bought the radio-transmission licence for 103Mhz (the old pirate-radio frequency) for 1 year and aired sound-art pieces on 13 locations, that were inspired by short stories of renowned authors about that specific place in the city. We organized „Rauschefahrten“, where dozens of invited people installed small radio receivers on their bicycles and drove from one location to the other, streaming sound-art live and loud to bystanding audience. We spread the shortstory-booklets to people walking and driving by and engaged them to turn on the radio, read stories, listen to compositions and escape the daily routine for a couple of minutes.

THEATER PHÖNIX

EARLY PROJECTION DESIGNS & DOCUMENTARY

This is where my projection design career started: The Theater Phönix Linz. Ingenious and talented young director Georg Staudacher (who unfortunately passed too early) gave me the first opportunity to create videos for his theater play „6 & Crime“, for which I created crime and horror sequences to welcome the audience on 6 different stages. In another play, „Die 3 von der Tankstelle“, director Harald Gebhartl would let me explode a gas station in a stage-filling projection.

Considered as a farewell gift, I produced the documentary „20 years of Theater Phönix“, a deep insight into the cosmos of the theater from its early beginnings to its blossoming.

Human Marionette

Interactive Video Installation

How does it feel, to control a human marionette? And what happens, when the marionette tries to free itself and suddenly pulls back? How far would you go next? This interactive art installation presented at a solo exhibition at Galeria Rosa Santos (Valencia, Spain) raises ethical questions of computer game mechanisms and confronts the audience with well studied behavioral experiments (e.g. the Milgram experiment).

Dead Letter Office

Convergent MEdia Installation

In 2011 I rented 3 large buildings of the vacant tobacco factory in Linz to present a high-scale media intallation, which highlights the need to expose injustices and imbalances at societal, political and personal levels. The aspect, that important information or life-altering stories are stuck or are being prevented from arriving,  accompanies the audience stylistically and content-wise throughout the work. It combines sculptural installation, a radio-transmission performance and a musical re-interpretation of Arvo Pärt´s „de profundis“: A composition written for Bruckner choir Linz, radio-transmissions, subbass and paper shredder.
