2004, awardsLive search( total items: 5 ) MomentumSpecial Mention Martijn Veldhoen: Momentum To go is a verb that refers to a movement, without being specific about its nature. Walking, driving or floating, for example, are much clearer in this respect; they describe the movement as something that is connected to the body. In 'Momentum', as viewer, we go in one slow movement through a sequence of spaces. Through corridors, rooms, doors, over balustrades onto a patio, to the street, and then back inside through an open window. Having acquired the ability to take spatial barriers effortlessly, we seem to be losing our physical form. The disappearance of our body silently echoes in the total absence of people in the places we pass through. And perhaps also in the voice we hear, the voice that tells us about an undefined loss. BuildingSphinx AwardFirst prize went to the video which is creating sofisticated structure combining together visible and invisible, material and immaterial dimensions and builds architectural and imaginary unexpected space.  Anouk de Clercq: Building Shafts of light and the camera are moving through the dark as in a glissando. Flat, sharply cut forms appear in black-and-white and high definition. They feel their way along expanses of wall, opening up storeys, windows and doors, and break down on floors, stairs and columns. In this way, according to a controlled choreography upheld by the music of Antoni Aeki, a truly architectural experience is created on the screen. Like a constructivist audiovisual mobile, the building reveals itself and is being documented as in an architect’s dream. In other words: as a spatial and atmospheric starting point for users to start leaving their marks on it. Portrait of a Gentleman (Museum Still 5)Bogdanka Poznanović AwardThis work traverses various layers in our perception of mediated time and space and creates powerful and joyful visual experience using performance art and photography like video recording. (Jury members Piotr Krajewski and Zoran Naskovski)  Portrait of a Gentleman (M. Still 5) Adad Hannah’s Stills are a combination of performance art, video art and photography. The image moves, but, from beginning to end, shows the performers carrying out one single frozen action. Hannah calls them long exposure videos, with the takes lasting between five and fifteen minutes, and being shown in real time without sound or editing. They are reminiscent of tableaux vivants, a popular nineteenth-century form of art in which groups of actors represented (mostly) paintings before an audience. These tableaux owed their effect particularly to the possibility of reinforcing the conveyance of the image by combining greater physical presence with time for contemplation within a theatrical setting. EnormousroomSpecial Mention Markus Bertuch: Enormousroom My works deals with the forms, expression and functioning of inner and outer identity. There is O-Identity as role play, as a context dependent construction (I without self ). O-Identity does not provide for any answers and has to continuosly be rearticulated.. I-Identity is the concept of the primeval soup - an energy, that we all have - as a grail of authentic experience. |
