Medien Bloom

Bloom is a reflection on the means of visual production before the existence of photography or film. The search for a modern view - which started to become manifest through various optical gadgets already before the development of the photographic camera - is reconstructed via partly absurd gadgets and objects, to the point of Land Art like installations.
The Voice over is a collage of texts, based on John Ruskin's Poetry of Architecture, a signature text in 19th Century landscape theory.
The scenery shows alternating working space and utilities as well as impressions of landscape. It develops an atmosphere of the so-called "Picturesque" at the same time as it gets deconstructed.
