                    In a small church in Halberstadt, in East Germany, a pipe organ plays avant-gard composer John Cage's "Organ2/ASLSP" day and night, without interruption, until the year 2640, resulting in a 639-year long concert. In a humorous but also thoughtful way the film shows different sides of this mind-boggling project: on the one hand the long and overly intellectual wrestles among the initiators, on the other the volunteering staff members' direct and practical way of dealing with all the work that surrounds such a project.  |

                    Human life is short and full of fear. Through art we can express and record feelings, transmitting and at best transcending our individual idiosyncrasies. This work makes a journey through a fragile world threatened by various dark and destructive forces. Whether the dangers are real or imaginary is of less concern than their psychological presence and impact.  |

                    A spectacle of grandiose spaces, monumental halls and majestic architecture. Defenestrator shows Larger-than life buildings being disintegrated, deformed and transformed into a flowing stream of lava, creating new distorted spaces and recycling overpowering architectural constructions.  |

                    LoopLoop is made from a sequence I captured in a train going to Hanoi in Vietnam. Using animation, sounds warping and time shifts this video runs forwards and backwards looking for forgotten details, imitating the way memories are replayed in the mind.  |

                    Recordings of afterimages and memories transformating normal time axis (24 frames per second) moving images to delayed time axis. This film is the first part of series "Vision of Compression" experimenting temporal transformation, composed on the base of musical structure of Bach's compositions.  |
