In the background an overcast skyline on the shore. A pan shot to the left slowly starts and then accelerates continuously. Soon the panorama turns out to be a stripe of identical image sections mirrored over and over again. Meanwhile a huge oil tanker enters the scene from the right. However, it doesn't get mirrored at the axes of reflexion, but floats on forward not influenced at all by its unreal surrounding, until the accelerating camera movement does not catch up with it any more.
Pascal Fendrich, born in 1972, is a video and photo artist. He studied media arts at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, Germany. His work comprises photography, experimental films and multi channel video installations. His central focus is a conceptual approach which plays with the material nature of the medium itself. Fendrich’s work has been shown in numerous international exhibitions and screenings, mainly in Europe, Eastern Asia and North America.
Bernd Härpfer (*1967) is a composer and producer of electronic and instrumental music. He also creates sound installations and videos. He studied electronic composition at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, Netherlands as well as musicology and philosophy at the University of Cologne, Germany. His broad approach to composition was developed further during studies with Clarence Barlow in algorithmic composition and sound synthesis. Härpfer is particularly interested in developing custom software which forms the basis of his musical works. In recent years digital transformation of natural sounds and the use of computer-controlled acoustic instruments have been recurring aspects of his music.
