Files are copied then deleted from one of the 3.5" floppy disks that have almost disappeared into our past. The soundtrack is the unmistakeable chunter and the image is a graphic representation of it.

A Wilderness of Elsewheres. Colony 1.

2009 • 10 min
"An evolutionary fever dream. Futurist, post apocalyptic . . . . Animated collage emerging from fluid becomings. Evolution - evolution as the uncontainability of change which is located in the destabilization of relations between the concrete and the imagined. Science fiction is produced out of cultural necessity- a liminal presence that inhabits prediction and flux, resisting definition and containment. Science fiction and technology are tools, as magic is, for transformation." - Mer Maggie Roberts

Wedding

Wedding

2009 • 2 min
Wedding is a meta-amateur film, a reflection and a condensation of its form: black and white, silent, 16mm, and only two minutes long. A married couple expose themselves to a camera´s objective gaze, while at the same time face it with their own, resolute gaze-and the riddle of a fragmentary plot. The staging thematizes the material it uses through minor errors in the image, like those that appear at the beginning and end of every 16mm film reel, and "bad" cuts, ghostly in between frames. What happens between the images? (Stefan Grissemann)

Vanitas

Vanitas

2009 • 3 min
Vanitas is built from a game and a minimal narrative. In this case, a girl blows soap bubbles and the camera tries to fix them in the center of the shot. This small performance based on repetition and camera montage ends up being a succession of small films, or small notes or sketches, contained within a larger piece.

In the Middle Ages, Timbuktu was not only a prosperous trading hub for Tuareg caravans that brought salt, gold and slaves from the south to Egypt and Morocco but also the capital of Islamic intellectual life in West Africa in the 15th and 16th centuries. Hundreds of thousands of manuscripts from this period still exist today, hidden, buried and forgotten just waiting to be rediscovered. They are the lost libraries of Islamic world knowledge.

The female administrator won't budge an inch. If you've no money, you stay put. "Hold me hostage instead of my wife," offers one man.

In Groundplay, Robert Todd uses his 16mm camera as a microscope. The sensitive instrument does not perceive objects, but dives into the empty spaces between them. The focus shifts to a new world filled with structures, grit and dust barely perceptible to the naked eye.
End of Code

End of Code

2009 • 15 min • United States of America
An animation that combines narrative experimentation with the abstraction of motion capture about two groups of misfit hackers in a city of traffic. They speak a language of advertising, corporate branding and self-help, while engaging in a battle to control traffic lights. The discovery that the entire social code is embedded in the access code that regulates traffic lights, begins a twisted ride of cultural espionage techniques. These techniques include surveillance cameras and costumes, as they attempt to untangle the social codes of characters caught in an endless rush hour. The project is a 3D animation using motion capture applied to non-human characters that took five years to produce.
