Expanded cinema with Telemach Wiesinger and his 16mm works and double projections, 35mm slides, approx. 90 min.
Telemach Wiesinger is a narrator. Film camera and image projectors are his tools. His film works are at once visual poems, travelogues and anthropological studies. The images of his associative and rhythmically edited sequences, collected on 16mm film, create a fascinating kaleidoscope of Europe.
Locations are to be discovered as only the cinematographic gaze can find them. "Black on white" with virtuoso analogue film tools, the FILM POEM gives things new life. Positive meets negative, flowing multiple projections show images in dialogue. Pantomimic improvised little scenes marked by affectionate humour awaken further associations.
With his equipment consisting of different projectors, Telemach Wiesinger offers a live performance full of surprises, characterised by a joy of experimentation. Instead of the anonymous, always the same reproduction of a picture-sound preserved, the Cinema Expanded performances create a lively encounter between artist and audience - including words during the reel change.
With his FILM POEM TOUR, Telemach Wiesinger is on the road at international film festivals, in art museums or galleries and even at special ‘outdoor’ locations as well as in excellent art house cinemas. Always new and always different: Manege frei für Illusionen! Clear the ring for illusions! Campo libero alle illusioni!
