FINAL WHISTLE


Grand gestures, determined expressions and tight legs.
Roughly collaged footballers don‘t owe each other anything and a referee loses the overview.

CROSSING OVER

 

temperamental cars

collide with consequences

 

Living characters roughly emerge from photo collages and noises.

The vehicles collide: gently at first, then violently.

The crashes quickly become archaic fun and do not remain without consequences.

 

Destruction and creativity are one.

Parsnips!

 

A visual diet.

 

Following I Can See the Dust and In Form, the feel-good cooking movie PARSNIPS! completes the Housewife Trilogy.

Chopping, frying, and tasting – Chef and cook are having fun, and kitchen sounds become music.

Ibulstan

 

A travel journal about small things and about things concealed. Colours, simple shapes and snatches of a tourist film hint at the setting and show the beauty of the ordinary.

 

To be a foreigner, yet not lost?

Occident or orient or both?

In Form

 

Ten people are IN FORM... and they’re not afraid to show it.

 

A series of prisms mimic human movement, a disembodied parody of exercise regimes. Getting in shape, in form, with Lotti Bauer has a Bauhaus feel to it.
