special, Jan Verbeek - introducing the artistOSMOTIC03:00, Color, Stereo, DE, KR, 2006
A young parking garage attendant with hat and trench coat and long arms conducts the cars to the one or other exit. The precise operation appears like the choreography of a powerful dance. The character of images and the musical composition annihilate boundaries, outside world and inner world merge. On a Wednesday Night in Tokyo05:35, Color, Stereo, DE, JP, 2004
Tokyo, 11pm. People entering a train. Interferenz07:42, Color, Stereo, DE, 1990

'Go on!' Buddha’s last words. Local Ride02:12, Color, Stereo, DE, 1994
An accelerating journey across country dissolves into a shimmering sea of yellow flowers in full bloom. A two-minute crash course in poetry, with a surprise ending. tonight00:30, Color, Silent, DE, PL, 2001
A window at night, lighted from within. The silhouette of a woman can be seen. She cleans the window, obsessively, and engrossed in herself. Open Sky01:19, Color, Stereo, DE, 2003
A meadow. Two children are building a house. Light and noise is coming from the open sky. The children act like dancers. On their terrace they reach, unprotectedly and happy, the end of the world. Exercise01:43, Color, Stereo, DE, JP, 2007

Bright Future Aheadaudio-visual installation with four synchronised projections; documentation: 07:00 + 16:35 split screen, JP, DE, 2006
The installation Bright Future Ahead creates a dense and floating atmosphere. Aspects of life in a mega-city world like Tokyo can be seen, contrasts in Japanese civilization. People reveal themselves as parts within well-organized systems. Routine activities are condensed to ambiguous choreographies. If there will be a bright future, this question remains unanswered. |
