Spaces, Territories

Contemporary Video Art from Berlin, selected from the collection of Video-Forum at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (NBK), Berlin

Urban space is not only an accumulation of architectural structures, advertisement and traffic. Rather, the urban area is conquered and defined by different groups of interests, so that new spatial planning forms successively. Territories are marked and territorial claims are made clear by indication. To whom does public space belong? Is the city with all its expansions in depth, width and height only a gigantic platform for communicating land tenure and spheres of influence? Does only the one have a voice, which also possesses the area? How do individuals exert influence in public space? What can they conquer and what do they have to defend?

Messieurs Delmotte: Des faits et des gestes

Messieurs Delmotte
The work of Messieurs Delmotte (BE, 1967) is situated somewhere between reality and imagination, somewhere between genius and dilettantism. In Delmotte's opinion, society is irrational and possesses insufficient sense of fairness and common sense to dismantle the mechanisms of social conditioning that determine our existence. Delmotte is distinguished by his dress code and facial appearance. The physical commitment of his own body as an instrument of unruliness plays a cardinal role.

Multiflex (Book one)

Let’s keep the details about how we worked and in what conditions a secret for now.
What is more important is:
1. This is really us and we are not acting.
2. No special effects (except the speed-up in the first clip, which we regret a little).
3. We don’t exactly know why we filmed all this.
4. Something was driving us to film all that.
5. No Geese, humans or Animals were injured during filming, except Dragan M. who fell while he was running in the shallow water, so his back hurt the following day.
6. Screenplay, direction, camera, editing and production by: Multiflex.
7. Music by Multiflex, original.
8. All further information will be provided upon request.

Sincerely yours,
Multiflex
