CINEMATOGRAPHIC INSTALLATION, SCHINKELHALLE, 2011/12

 

„I was a bourgeois painter, then a progressive painter and then no longer a painter, but just a worker in the pictures.” Paul Yederbeck

Paul Yederbeck worked until shortly before his death on his 24-hour „Expanded Animation Cinema“ ALIAS YEDERBECK in 252 sequences. The large-scale cinematographic installation intertwines elements of the visual arts with media art and film, video, animation, and sound in a metafictional performance. The “auto-(author-)constructs” of the painting circle TESTE SANS FIN > and the associated multimedia archive material form the basis of the artist video QU’EST-CE QUE MONSIEUR TESTE? > (1-channel video, 26:00 min) and first of all twelve nonlinear film sequences (12-channel video, 63:00 min) that unfold clockwise, one after the other, in a traversable, angular-round panorama:

ENTERTAINER > (Video, Painting Animation, 3D Computer Animation, Compositing)
FLANEUR > (Super-8, 16mm, Photography, iCam, Video, Compositing)
ZUSCHAUER > (Video, Animated Drawing, Compositing)
SCHAUSPIELER > (Photomontage, Projection, Video, Compositing)
AUFLÖSUNG > (Photography, Video, Compositing)
PROJEKTION > (Super-8, Photography, Projection, Video, Compositing)
ANIMA TECHNE > (Video, 3D Computer Animation, Compositing)
TRANSZENDENTALE ANIMATION > (3D Computer Animation, Compositing)
HAPPY END > (35mm, Direct Film animation, Compositing)
DOPPELGÄNGER > (Video, Compositing)
REMINDER> (Analog Video, Digital Video, Projection, Compositing)
THE END > (Video, Compositing)

Occasion of the tenth anniversary of Paul Yederbeck’s death, Frank Geßner, supported by a team, staged the hybrid project ALIAS YEDERBECK in the border area of exhibition, cinema and multimedia event.

This „fiction of art“ was realized in the framework with „Potsdam 2011 – City of Film“ in cooperation with *ATELIER BERLIN PRODUCTION and the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF (formerly HFF „Konrad Wolf“ Potsdam-Babelsberg). Founded by the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.
