Capturing the Moment
Lecture and screening by Darija Šimunović
Haus der Universität, Schadowplatz 14, February 04th, 2017 at 2 p.m.
Creative exploration of images in the flow of time is a basic element of video art. Animation, montage techniques and/or dissolves help create images which, in an interplay of motion and stasis, seize on the individual moments captured by the camera.
The lecture by Darija Šimunović will introduce video art works from the imai foundation archive which all refer to photography via their subject, aesthetics or media. The artists use photographs as their source material (Maria Vedder, Adela Jušić), question witnessing of images spread in the media (Thomas Kutschker, Andreas Troeger), create animated films from individual photographic records (Barbara Hlali) or study the subject of photography (George Snow, Róbert Olawuyi).
