Film installation Lutz Garmsen 1996

"Kreisler"
Film installation Lutz Garmsen 1994

A rotating standard-8 projector shows a panned shot of a woman with a boy on a scooter. As the projector and projection move at the same speed, the industrial ruins in the background appear as a stationary panorama while the scooter endlessly circles.

"Lukas kleine Weltmaschine"


Film installation
by Lutz Garmsen / Ursula Helfer 1993
Two film strips with different surfaces are projected onto each other. The film loops themselves run on towering stands, which, along with the projectors, are integral parts of the installation and thus visible to the viewer. In front of the slide projector's lens moves, like a sector shutter, a maple leaf. However, it does not move synchronously with the image motion, as a sector shutter would, but asynchronously. The lack of optical compensation means that the leaf sometimes overlaps the projected image. The projection of both film strips does not necessarily occur simultaneously but is controlled by a random principle. Through a circuit connected to the film machines, two toy figures, a drummer clown, and a former Barbie doll, interact on a small wooden desk. Both are missing their lower bodies. The doll rotates around its axis every second, occasionally touching two hanging balls with its outstretched arms. When these balls happen to collide, the contact closes, the clown figure begins drumming, and the films start moving. Thus, a shared projection results in random and always new combinations of both image motifs, sometimes as moving images, sometimes as still ones.
