Video Installation - TIME LINES by Philipp Geist (VIDEOGEIST/ Berlin)
For his Video Installation TIME LINES in Rome, the Berlin-based artist Philipp Geist (born 1976) deliberately avoids the use of canvases and instead projects directly onto the concrete building façades of Plazzo delle Esposizioni. On 7th/ 8th of September, visitors can expect to see a selection of images alternating between purist, dreamlike and intangibly fragile compositions. The starting foundation for all of Philipp Geist's work is video material solely filmed and produced by himself.
Philipp Geist filmed ancient art objects, as for example statues, antique sculptures, busts, paintings, gold decoration and mosaics in Rome and Berlin, from unusual perspectives. Geist used modern digital techniques (hard- and software) to manipulate the filmed images by abstracting, recolouring and overlaying them. Elements of the art pieces are seperated from their context and arranged in new picture variants and artistic compositions. In the video installation art pieces from same and different epochs are combined. The projected moving images can be seen only on smooth surfaces in a clear and unbroken way. This fragmentary effect refers to the partial, only incompletely preserved antique art objects, and thus develops a symbiosis between the projection wall and the video art. An interaction emerges between the antique works and the contemporary, digital medium videoart on the architecture and the spectators, which both serve as projection ground.
By opting to use the three-dimensional, defined structure contours as projection surfaces instead of canvases, Geist increases the motifs abstraction while simultaneously regaining depth and diversity. In this way, Geist initiates a dialogue between the historically architecture, his artistic work and the people going in and out of the structure: The visitor himself becomes part of the projected image on the threshold between the inside and outside of the building.
The visitors make a time journey within picture worlds, which range from antiquity to the digital age.

His works were shown at the Dissonanze Festival in Rome, at Clubtransmediale in Berlin and at the Mutek Festival in Montreal which is renowned for new media. He has exhibited his live video performances internationally at the Central House of Artists (CHA) in Moscow, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in London, the National Gallery in Warsaw (Zacheta) and at the opening of the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. In 2005, he realized the large project “Winterzauber” (“Winter Magic”) for the Lake Side Restaurant in Zurich and in 2006, he opened at Salon Noir within the context of the exhibition “Melancholie, Genie und Wahnsinn” (“Melancholy, Genius and Insanity”) in the Berlin Neuen National Galerie.

It was through photography and painting that Geist gradually made his way to video art. He had his debut as a painter at the age of 18. For the presentation of his artworks he selected an unusual location: a forest in Polling, Upper Bavaria. A number of exhibitions of his pictures and photography followed thereafter in the Stadtmuseum Schonau (slideshow with Console/Martin Gretschmann), in gallery Type-E in Munich, and in others.
..
Geist worked together with zither soloist/composer Leopold Hurt and electronic musicians Hannes and Andi Teichmann (Bros. Teichmann) for the project Hurt Teichmann. Moreover, his collaborative work with Dirk Dresselhaus (SchneiderTM) and Ilpo Vasäinen (Pan Sonic) resulted in the “noise” music project “Angel”. Geist also produced a two-hour art film for the live ensemble SchneiderTM and Kpt.Michi.gan which was shown on the “Zoomer” world tour in 2003/04.
..
In the year 2000 Geist created a video composition for the musical piece “Jolanda” by the Weilheimer Avantgarde jazz ensemble Tied & Tickled Trio (with Markus and Micha Acher (“The Notwist”) as well as with jazz saxophonist Johannes Enders and others). From that time onward his works have been sought after at international video and digital art festivals such as the Biennale in Santiago de Chile, “Kurzfilmtagen” in Regensburg, the media tower in Graz, “Filmwinter” in Stuttgart and the Electronic Art Festival in Warsaw. Geist's subsequent projects included the production of music video clips for Phonem, Tied & Tickled Trio, Console, Philip Boa, Angel, beigeGT, Ephy and Kpt.michi.gan.

Other projects Geist is currently working on are marked primarily by their complex integration of image, sound and light. One example of this is his forthcoming collaborative project with Mexican artist Helen Escobedo for the Alte Museum in Berlin in 2007..
