all about bildwechsel

gottlieber revue

“aha/oho„ jubilees“ (on the 8th of december 2014 bildwechsel reaches our 35 years) we've celebrated all year long with activities and new and unusual formats that invite audiences in to see the treasures of the active-archive. here's a 10 minute look at the gottlieben revue :

bildwechsel presents a swarm-viewing – at hamburg LA*D.I.Y_fest

swarmviewing? bildwechsel always tries to provide limelight for the wonderful films/videos that are in the collections in the bildwechsel archives (since 1979!!)

we know that every video/film wants to be seen - and so for a swarmviewing we bring a collection of films and videos that are related to one another by theme, or approach, or time, or place – in this case d.i.y.

the videos/films are presented together yet individually -so the people who visit the swarm-event can pick up a personal dvd player then, singly or in small groups, view the films in their own concentrated time, picking each film up and returning them to a central location where we are on hand to introduce the works one by one. it¹s a format we've experimented with already and it works really well - people swap films with one another and it seems to encourage people to discuss and engage with the work, and creates a really lovely filmrespecting atmosphere.

please feel invited to come along - and always invited too to bring your own videos for the archives

swarm viewing garden films, 31st august in hamburg

künstlerhaus sootbörn /// sunday, 31.08.2014, 13-18

swarm viewing garden films

videos and films want to be seen

for the 8500+ titles that stand in the video collection, bildwechsel the active archive has invented a new format: the swarm viewing: films and videos that are related to one another by theme, or approach, or time, or place are presented together yet individually, each one on a small portable player (or the audience can even bring their own computer).

out of our garden film collection, which came about following a call for films in 2012 and had its first screening in may of that year at four corners in london presented by bildwechsel glasgow, we now present films/videos as a swarm viewing event im künstlerhaussootbörn on sunday 31st august, between 1pm and 6pm as part of the exhibition “fliegende gärten” the growing collection is complimented by gems from the bildwechsel collection and some new entries.

bildwechsel advent calender

bildwechsel advent calendar 2010

parole hochformat

have you ever had this problem: your ideas won't fit the format, whether it was 4:3, or even 16:9? ever thought of changing your position, or turning the camera around?

try it: all of a sudden things appear totally different.
we recommend ‘high format’ (portrait/vertical format) for "out-of-the-box thinking".

hochformat logo

"parole hochformat" can be seen as a request to artists and to audiences to change position alongside a changing video format (from landscape to portrait). it is an invitation to take note, to position one's self and to change one's position.

monitors

the festival took place in hamburg (8.10.-17.10.2010). more information you'll find here.
