Philipp Fleischmann, Film Sculpture (1), 2022

Philipp Fleischmann has focused in recent years on how specific spatial conditions relate to the presentation or analogue projection of film. He has for example used the Secession, the Austrian Film Museum, and even the mumok cinema as settings for specially developed apparatuses in an effort to translate these spaces cinematically. His new complex of works can be described as installation: Film Sculptures consist of a construction that allows viewers to see both a projected film and the film strip at the same time. In our new video, Philipp Fleischmann talks about Film Sculpture (1) and explains, how abstraction plays an important role in the work.

Film Sculpture (1) is part of the collection show Changes curated by Naoko Kaltschmidt and is on view until January 29, 2023.
