LICHTBILDVORTRAG [SLIDE SHOW]
offers an exciting media-mix on videotape.
Structured collaborations of selected artists from the fields of text, video, sound and music result in 10 short films, meeting the given challenge with sensitivity and a generous portion of humour. Each film is complemented with a corresponding leaflet and the lot is packaged in a zip-lock plastic bag.
Anonymous found pictures (photographs and slides collected from flea-markets and junk-shops) were the starting point and inspiration for prose, lyrics and songtext by selected writers. Subsequently these texts were given to musicians and sound-artists. The created sound-collages, audio plays or even songs, were modified, contrasted or complemented by video-artists using the initial still images only - an unusual collaboration with surprising results.
Based on pre-existing image material, Shift! has created a dynamic system, shaped by the diverse interpretations, aesthetic experiences and working methods of the artists, which led to something totally new.
