Medien Aus

Irritation and overlays are the main technical aspects taking place in Aus. Scratches and the graininess of the found footage (Super 8 film) are heavily exposed and emphasised. This can be seen within some kind of plastic extensibility or liquefaction of old movies by means of computers. The images are rhythmized along with the music moving forward and backward in single frames like being scratched. It is important that one can see the framing and the projection itself; the possible manipulation and fragility of the chosen movies are central, fitting perfectly to the slightly melancholic music. Thus the video tells of saying goodbye: of memories and untroubled quality of the material, in the end of old media and its representation of the world.
