HAPPY DOOM
Happy Doom is an audiovisual poem, an ode to colour intoxication and vertigo. The screen is a vibrating membrane that simultaneously spits and swallows colours and noisy beats – a hypnotic deformed circumpolar psychedelic short trip.

BEAUTIFUL ALIEN GIRL
The video work The Beautiful Alien Girl reveals constant cliches through the footage by Gerhard Polt from the end of the 70s. In this video, the female figures are objectified and fulfil the white male fantasy. In doing so, this video satirises the reality and stereotypes in Europe and indicates that Gerhard Polt’s footage still has relevance today.

HYÄNE FISCHER – IM RAUSCH DER ZEIT
Nature mysticism meets iPhone, negligee meets Loden jacket. Hyäne Fischer sings, dances, and drinks with her girlfriends. A cottage in the mountains, the peak, a symbol of something outlasting all times; the fog, the materialisation of another world spirit. Kurdwin Ayub and Caroline Bobek take possession of the myths and dreams of patriarchy and reoccupy them — and in their pictures, no men are to be seen.

“... A SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE DUET ...”
