BEDWAYS
Film director Nina wants to shoot a movie about love and sex. She invites her actor-friends Hans and Marie (Lana Cooper) for screen tests in a huge, run-down apartment in Berlin for a couple of days. There are problems with the first recordings and it turns out that the project is not so easy to implement. Acting and reality mingle into a dangerous melange. For Nina love is not necessarily a matter of emotion – she is rather looking for an authentic depiction of sex. The intimate collaboration turns into experiments with film, love and bodies and finally has an impact on the private relationships between the three of them. It seems that the boundaries between acting and reality begin to disappear.
Post Momentum Null
Post Momentum Null (Post Momentum Zero) is a peotic-experimental film. It deals with love, death and dreaming in a metaphorical but also concrete way. I made this film for a sound and multimedia exhibition by our artist collective “Berg 26” (which exist 2008-2013) in the old Charité morgue ruins from the 19th century. developed on Hannover’schestrasse in Berlin Mitte. The film was shot inside and outside the building as well as in the old disused cemetery on Mollstrasse in Berlin Mitte. In addition to directing, scripting, performing and editing, I also composed the sound design and music.
