About the artwork
Another glimpse into the hallucinatory world of Neue Deutsche Kunst where humans have adapted to nature by mutating and intermingling with animals and plants. They are part human, part snail and part mushroom, often genderless, sometimes multi-gender, creating new realities for themselves.
In these new works the chimeric protagonists are presented as frozen sculptures orbited by non-existing cameras.
The films are based on Richter's meticulously sculpted collage works and are soundtracked by new music pieces composed specifically for these artworks.
Music by Marc Richter
Audio explanation
Listen to Neue Deutsche Kunst discuss this work.
Under the Neue Deutsche Kunst alias Marc Richter (also known for his musical project Black To Comm) is testing the boundaries of AI software by overloading it with surreal and confusing tasks and information (all within a visual framework of his own making). The AI is trying to make sense of these almost poetic texts by hallucinating lysergic artworks and films.
Richter's visual works are as much influenced by German folklore and fairytales as well as actionist performance, psychedelic art and the writings of Angela Carter and JG Ballard.
In 2024 he has won the MuVi Award at the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.
