presented by Thomas Zandegiacomo Del Bel

Dance, performance, music and the power of rhythm enter into a combination with film and poetry and reveal the joys and miseries of life. A bubbling elixir that bewitches even the protagonists themselves.

about ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival

Film and poetry are like the white and black stripes of a zebra: they fit together beautifully. Every two years the ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival shows the current state of a dynamic, young short film genre which lies somewhere between poetry, film and new media. The festival offers both makers of poetry films and poets themselves from around the world a forum for fixing positions as well as exchanging ideas and experience – an ever growing group of fans of a genre which has won over even the most suspicious and sceptical in the audience. A comprehensive supporting programme with retrospectives, colloquia and talks complements the competition, which is unique worldwide.

Hubert Sielecki AT Dialog über Österreich // Dialogue about Austria  03:15 2012 (Performance) Wiener Lautgedicht, Gerhard Rühm

The characteristic expressions of the Viennese are played out in a fictional dialogue.  No one should have the illusion of being able to understand.

China’s Tang and Song dynasties, with their eroticism and Taoist love of nature.

Mark Wilkinson US Human Condition 05:37 2011 (Musikvideo) Human Condition, Rich Ferguson

Uplifting music video which details the joys and sorrows of this world. There has to be more to life than just survival.

Zeinab El Badrawi EG The Applicant  02:28  2012 (Performance) The Applicant, Sylvia Plath

As the bride prepares for her wedding, she goes through a breakdown when she realizes how fake society has defined her.

Maria Brandenburger, Andreas Melcher DE Odem 08:00 2010 (Performance) odem, Christian Camehl

A young girl awakes in a white room. A deep, sharp voice cuts through silence. On the opposite wall, she sees a mirror. Suddenly, her other hand raises.

Antonio Poce, Valerio Murat IT [meine heimat] // [my heimat]  04:30 2012 (Performance) [meine heimat], Ulrike Almut Sandig

A man, maybe a composer or a painter, collects scattered fragments of his soul.

Jan Riesenbeck DE Sechster Sinn, Drittes Auge, Zweites Gesicht // Sixth Sense, Third Eye, Second Face 15:00 2012 (Performance) Sechster Sinn, Drittes Auge, Zweites Gesicht, Jan Riesenbeck

An unconventional mixture of fairytale, comedy, science fiction, essay, and drama, but above all, a bulging grab bag full of bizarre ideas and surprises. 

Jasmine Kainy ISR Robotim! // Robots! 05:50 2011 (Spielfilm) Nothing To Be Done, Ido Yoav

Two different images of womanhood: the silent, pregnant housewife and the direct and powerful reporter.

Alberto Girotto I Piccola cucina cannibale // Little cannibal kitchen 05:11 2012  (Musikvideo) Piccola cucina cannibale, Lello Voce

The story, apparently paradoxical,  is about a love which is so big to devour itself and its protagonists.

Paul Bogaert BE Reconstruction 04:45 2012 (Spielfilm) Reconstruction, Paul Bogaert

Four guards inspect an exhibition room. After the lights flicker off and on, they look younger and can’t believe what they hear.

MEDIA IN MOTION

presents works by Heiko Daxl and Ingeborg Fülepp

In 1990 Heiko Daxl and Ingeborg Fülepp together founded the label Media in Motion. From that time on, they worked together on various media art projects as artists and curators. One of their main tasks was to connect international artists to one another and to show their works internationally, with particular focus on Germany and Croatia. After Heiko Daxl passed away in 2012, Ingeborg Fülepp continued their work independently.

The program will show videos made by Heiko Daxl before they met as well as productions they subsequently brought into being as an artistic couple.

The aim of this presentation is to show the multiple talents of Heiko Daxl, his understanding of the media as well as his prowess and creative potentials through the execution of numerous works of art, written texts on art and its attendant philosophy.

In leaving our world, Heiko is on the way to discover another, as yet unknown universe. At least, having known him, one might hope this to be true. Throughout his artistic works, he was always searching for something beyond our realities.

Experience is nothing else than change of memory… By manipulation of images and montage in relation to the musical composition, there are points for thoughtful excursions, roundabouts, dreams, curves, imaginations and lost memories. But the continuance of transitoriness keeps its familiar riddle.” Heiko Daxl

The numerous works they have created bear witness to their joy in experimenting, always moving on the borderline to the unknown. Employing new technologies, they investigate various, so far unknown optical and acoustic phenomena. The observer’s senses, his hearing, his sight and his sense of touch, are always consciously engaged, unsettling his perception. Daxl and Fülepp demonstrate new ways in the artistic exploration of the technical possibilities of creating sounds and abstract images which force the observer to an integrated reception. They seek to make the recipient think about the reality which is imparted to him in an artificial and technical manner. Dr. Barbara Barsch, Director, ifa-Galerie Berlin, Institute for International Relations, May 2005
