“Impressio in-urbe” goes through the textures of the urban space: the materiality of architectures, corners and prospectives, the drawings of pavings, the squares, the bricks; it’s a detailed decomposition of the city’s “cloak” from which the broken matter emerges, seemingly immovable but in a continuous connection, in the centuries, inhabited by its moltitude.”Impressio” is the print, the mark which all things and every gesture leave of itself, the “identikit” (and vivisection) of the city’s space and time, which gives back to us its view.

All members are just in the middle of their twenties, though the group around singer Hannes Braun has seen and achieved a lot since they first appeared on the map in 2006: 5 worldwide released studio albums, extensive touring in Europe and Asia, multiple TOP 20 entries in official German album charts. KISSIN' DYNAMITE are known for producing high-quality studio albums, but the band are even more infamous for their energetic, intense live shows. So there is no better way than to celebrate the first ten years of band history with the group's first ever Live release. All their hits - recorded at their hometown show in Stuttgart, Germany, which took place in December 2016. This is pure dynamite!

In conversation one learns how formative it was for him and is to grow up and live in Berlin Kreuzberg, which foundations were laid for his views already in the school time and why he even deals in his music with topics such as gentrification or refugee policy. In doing so, he commits different locations with a personal connection and also lets people from his circle of friends have their say, such as other members of the band project Antinational Embassy, his label mate Herzog and the Anti Turista Squad. With a view to the future, this DVD complements its content and focuses on its further work: activism.

The history of cinema has already defined the prison film as its own genre with its own elements and particular qualities, in fiction as well as in documentary.

All floors of the exhibition house are filled with full-length video projections and a continuous sound track. Surrealistic representations of nature on the ground floor lead to a synchronized 3-channel installation on the upper floor, in which the world increasingly becomes a representation of inner states. The perception of a woman, who is not visible but whose thoughts are audible, is sharpened in solitude and she herself becomes more and more the subject of her own investigation. The exhibition ends in a protected, binaural listening experience in the attic.

The distortion of visual perception, which is the theme of Gance's film, proliferates in KATOPTRON. Fiction cinema (Kubrick) as well as experimental cinema (Malcolm Le Grice) and video art (Gary Hill) are absorbed by this vortex. However, the saturation does not prevent a certain paradoxical order from emerging from this chaos.

The New Cross Fire was a major tragedy in 1981 that claimed the lives of 13 young black people and was initially met with state, media and police indifference. Haunted by that history, and in the context of the recent rise of the far-right and the tragedy of Grenfell, Jay Bernard’s film Something Said, and their award winning poetry both undertake a queer exploration of black British history, starting with this particular moment in time and examining its ramifications at two scales: the larger social and political rupture that followed the fire, and the smaller, individual attempt to reconcile one's queer present and the black radical past.

A visual poem on the city of Rome.
'In 2007 just before moving to Berlin, I made Lerne Deutsch mit Petra von Kant / Learn German with Petra von Kant in which I tried to learn to speak and act like a German by closely emulating the actress Margit Carstensen in the role of fashion designer Petra von Kant, suffering a mid-life-career-crisis in Rainer Werner Fassbinder´s 1972 film Die bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant (The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant). I invited ten of my students to make this work with me to commemorate ten (mostly) productive years of German integration. A broad spectrum of young artists in Berlin, some of whom were as new to the city as I had been in 2007, collectively transformed into this new and restlessly changing figure of Petra von Kant of the new millenium.'
