From Wednesday night to thursday morning I was shooting an animation short called “Six men feeling a bit better now”. It was a spontaneous idea to reinterpret David Lynch’s debut short film “Six men getting sick”.
The film will be available soon here.
It is said that David Lynch first started to make films out of the need to bring movement into his paintings. Soon, during his study at the Pennsylvania university of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, he started to make short films: The Alphabet, The Amputee, The Grandmother, Six Men Getting Sick and many more.
As my personal approach is mainly influenced by early film making experiments in the basement of a former friends house, it is very interesting to me to try to animate color and sculpture as I got in touch with these art forms much later than with film.
My current projects are largely influenced by the condensed, short format of YouTube clips, absurdity and the attempt of distorting the logic in video and film aesthetics.
I am not even thinking about trying to recreate the ingenious quality of David Lynch’s first short films – it would be absolutely ridiculous. What I want to accomplish is a collection of video portraits of all kinds of things: Aesthetic moments, people, genres, sculpture, animation, imitation and many other aspects. This is the essence of my research at the moment. Out of this, I would like to raise a recognizable style for my work.

“meineOmma” is a parody-account on toonsup I initiated some years ago. Here’s a continuation of the story.
4 IMPOSSIBLE photos – Polaroid
An abandoned docking site at the Danube, a motor cycle engine,
a pug in front of a grocery store and a torn fabric at a construction site.
There will also be an exhibition with some of
the photos that the students at Kunstuni Linz took.
The IMPOSSIBLE project tries to recreate the technique of Polaroid photo systems.
The film type I used is a Silvershade PX 600 and can be ordered via their dedicated online shop.
