Using a vocal religious poetry recitation from old television archives mixed with a video game soundtrack, the camera in Divine Memory (2019) follows several octopuses swimming nonchalantly in water, while artificially distorting their colors. A kind of music video attuned to natural phenomena; the work attempts to delve into our innate memory as creatures of this world, perhaps a pre-human genetic memory, so as to stimulate feelings of awe and wonder at the construction of being.

A film about the short life of Ernst Ludwig Oswalt, also known as 'Lux'. The son of the publisher of “Der Struwwelpeter” was deported from Frankfurt to the Majdanek or Sobibor extermination camp at the age of 19.

Walls Have Feelings is a hypnotic montage of cinematographic, photographic and literary references wired together with excerpts from YouTube videos, TV series, advertisements, generic footage, animations, and newly-filmed material.

Once upon a long, long, not all that long time ago, in a small German village near Ulm, lived big Heinrich. A gloomy fellow, everyone was afraid of him. Everyone, that is, except little Heinke. But is that really such a good thing?

It is the artistic documentation of aesthetic swarm intelligence. The middle part of the essay film gives the impression that the starlings did their meditative rounds only for my cameras after my direction. These six minutes essentially consist of an en bloc shot, which I adjusted to the track frame-accurately with only a few cuts. I leave the stage to the swarms of starlings, they are art. It's about perception.

The film is part of the Guardians of Productive Landscapes series and a sequel to 'Abraham and Sarah I: Creators of a productive landscape'. A Tigrean farmer and his wife, who host pilgrims to a festival at the Gundagundo monastery, have gained the biblical names Abraham and Sarah. We see Sarah and other women prepare food and drink for the pilgrims, while Abraham and other men erect a shelter. At dawn dozens of pilgrims descend the steep escarpment, eventually arriving at Gundagundo where celebrations are in full swing. We witness highlights of the festival, and the pilgrims' return to the homestead of Abraham and Sarah. Here they receive food, drink and shelter, and sing the praises of their hosts. At midnight visitors arrive with an old, sick monk. Before the guests depart next morning, a monk thanks and blesses Abraham and Sarah.

Documentary about the history of a village guest house

Named after its setting, the French river Vidourle, Yalda Afsah’s film documents a strange and subtly unnerving choreography, capturing a group of young men performing what could be a ritual, a spectacle, a game, or a fight. In their collective movements as well as individual moments of concentration, anticipation and occasional forlornness, the adrenalin-fuelled adolescent protagonists seem to embody the frailty of the human condition awaiting an environmental change, much like an unexpectedly forceful current in a river.

Tic Tic Tack is an interview-based animated short film about people and their lives with Tourette’s Syndrome.

“You can’t always get what you want...” sang the Rolling Stones once upon a time, though they consistently proved the opposite. A young woman wants a whole lot too. Being heard would be pretty nice for starters.

At the opening of the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, not only the spectacular architecture but also its outstanding acoustics were celebrated - and Yasuhisa Toyota became the darling of the media. Ennobled from "ZEIT" to "Dr. Sound", the likeable Japanese is one of the world's most sought-after stars among acousticians. In addition to Yasuhisa Toyota, these include above all Jürgen Reinhold and Martijn Vercammen, who made Daniel Barenboim's heart's desire for better acoustics in the magnificent building a reality in the recently reopened Berlin State Opera.

The artist's avatar is seen passively idling around the virtual map of Los Santos and thus subjects himself to the agency of other players. The game world follows its own rules of contact and conduct, which players can choose to either respect or transgress. Yet, for the duration of this performance, the avatar's passivity overwhelmingly renders him a target for unprovoked and uninhibited violence.
