MEMORY OF LIGHT - LIGHT OF MEMORY
KUNSTMUSEUM ST. GALLEN
The Kunstmuseum St. Gallen is presenting «Memory of Light - Light of Memory», a large survey of my video installations, kinetic objects, video vignettes and computer generated images: brand new works like the LED mosaic «Transit of Earth» (2022) or the 3D computer graphic image «The Sands of Mars» (2022); a few pieces from my repertoire, tailored for this exhibition, e.g. «On the Nature of Things» (1996), the video installation with the venerable rain machine; parts of the extensive «Indian Cycle», shown for the first time in Switzerland with a premiere of «Thomas Daniell in the Ruins of Naurattan» (2022).
There will be various accompanying events, coming up is the panel discussion ‹Diving into another reality› history and fascination of Game Design with Mona Mur, musician and composer, and Prof. Ulrich Götz, head of Game Design, Zürcher Hochschule der Künste..

GETTING OUT OF ROUT(IN)E
Videoformes 2021
Clermont-Ferrand/FR
During the first lockdown in France, VIDEOFORMES launched the call for project “Getting Out of Rout(in)e” and collected more than 90 videos, covering the period from March to July 2020. At the time, the situation was still unprecedented and exceptional.
Let yourself go through glances from all horizons: experimental and sensible videos and quirky or poetic visions regarding this strange period.
The videos are gathered in units about 30 minutes each.
