Christin Bolewski (DE) Mountain-water-painting, 6:12
Film & video programme „Measurements of time“
14/09/2010, Tuesday, 17:00 - 18:00, Studio 7, Art Academy
The Chinese hand scroll is often referred to as first motion picture. Proceeding from Chinese thought and aesthetics the traditional concept of landscape painting ‘Shan-Shui-Hua’ (mountain-water-painting) is recreated as modern video art. The concept of multi-perspective and the endless scroll are explored through digital filmmaking, video compositing and virtual camera, depths and particle systems. Challenging the Western preoccupation with narrative and distinct meaning the work contains no complex narration and attempts to be a meditative open artwork. Chinese landscapes usually include small human figures that blend harmoniously into the vast world around them. Man and nature interact and complement each other to reach a state of balance and harmony.

Her work is a critical investigation of the potential of digital media to expand the aesthetic possibilities of audiovisual/film art.
