  • Nicole3’17’’

    Production: DE 2014

    Two years ago I accidentally stumbled upon an old book about bizarre cases from the 19th century. Something that strongly contributed to the ghostly spirits of this collection was the presence of damaged old black-and-white photo inbetween the pages, with the barely distinguishable face of a young girl.

    Production: DE 2014

    “[ ]” is a collaborative work of Till Gombert (director & editing), Jason Stewart (camera & editing] and Roland Altmann (sound). Motionless Moving Images of photographic character like those of a large format camera, held in an almost documentary style, are constantly broken by a editing associative illustrations of magic Romanticism and architectural Modernism. A very silent crackle comes out of the woods, almost unheard. Is there still magic in this 21st century? A hunt for the unknown in today's world.
