BAHAR SAMADI and NAVID SALAJEGHEH / Winterreise
Jan 28 - Feb 20, 2016
Studio 51 is a collaborative project between filmmaker Bahar Samadi & visual artist and architect Navid Salajegheh since 2014. The main theme of their projects is recycling and re-employing pre-existing or found and often anonymous footages, textual and visual materials. Studio 51 attempts to rewrite and process these toward various extended mediums from moving image to performance and from installation to painting. Constructing a series of micro narratives, which reappear in alternative time and space.
In „Winterreise“, a found object - here a slide - becomes the departure point for the carefully constructed pieces in this exhibition, drifting across them smoothly to question this very image over and over again: a film, a painting and a machine are floating elements in a simple Mise-en-scène, offering parallel imaginations side by side.
