In a moment when both the technical medium and the expressive milieu of cinema are continually reshaped by hybrid, networked visual cultures, the question shifts from «What is cinema ?» to « Where does it live ?». Pavle Levi notes that contemporary images are «homeless», circulating among theatres, galleries, fairs, phones, streams and interactive-game worlds. Tracing a lineage from the Fernsehgalerie to current practices of looping, expansion and second-hand cinema, the project presents four contemporary artists whose works question the boundaries and limits of today's cinematic apparatus :
PETER WELZ
VIKTORIA SCHMID
THIORO THIOYE
LISA ÁLVAREZ ZIMMER
At the heart of SITUATIONS/PROJECTIONS lies an inquiry into the fundamentally amphibological nature of the term projection.On the one hand, it denotes a physical, optical and geometrical phenomenon: the luminous transport of an image from one place to another. On the other hand, it designates a psychic process, a movement from interiority toward the exterior, which the viewer enacts by investing the image with his or her own affect and imagination.
