Praxis-1

2007 • 23 min • Austria

"With Praxis-1 I began an extensive video series, conceived in a structure of successively numbered scenes, which is parallel to all my other film/video works and paintings. Each part of the Praxis-series is approximately 20 minutes long. Both purely video works and also transformed reflections on a few of my 16mm films are shown after having been put in a new light by means of electronic transformations of the picture." (Dietmar Brehm)

Block-1

2007 • 30 min • Austria

In 1994 I bought a small Hi8 video camera though I didn't really want one, as I already had a large video camera. The large camera was OK, but it was too big to carry along on walks. It didn't have legs so that I could lead it around on a leash like a dog. The little camera, on the other hand, was like a baby which could be stowed in my bag. The salesman was surprised when I kissed the baby camera after he handed it to me. I immediately set off on my first stroll with camera. I thought it was great because I could immediately film everything my eyes stumbled upon. The baby camera was like a gun and ready to go after visual prey.

Aubrac-Rushes

2007 • 14 min

"Aubrac-Rushes is a video of re-filmed images, which we watch as if flicking through a sketchbook of drawings executed in pencil, charcoal, graphite ... These "sketches" were snatched from real life during a stay in Aubrac with Martine ROUSSET and Mahine ROUHI in January 2007. Some fragments of these promenades are also fossilized in silver photographic emulsion ... "Erratic and restless - we stumble into the shots - which search for their lost path - the broken trajectory of a nowhere landscape - the brief and obstinate rhythm of a searching gaze - a real quest: where to go from here? M. Rousset

Remake

2007 • 8 min • France

"Remake" is made from a Super 8 film shot in the 80’s. The fragments are edited by superimposing the different takings of the same scenes. The image produced is strange because we are facing an impossible : the simultaneous presence of several states that could be. Sequences so reconstituted string together as all stages of a confused and desperate love life. This sentimental and visual disorder is combined with the overlay of sound samples : inner music and movies dialogues.
