Eine Multimedia Performance im oberösterreichischen Steyr. Zeitdokumente, bewegte Bilder eines lokalen Hobbyfilmers das Grundmaterial. Ergänzt und kombiniert mit dem populärem Film seiner Zeit und Musik, die eigens von Brian Duffy für diese Collage komponiert wurde.
Am Anfang stand die Frage, was die Familie «realer» beschreibt: die inszenierte Wirklichkeit im populären Film seiner Zeit oder die inszenierte Wirklichkeit im Schmalfilm einer echten Familie?
Die Dauer der Performance ist ca. 40 Minuten. Der Eintritt ist frei (Zählkarten an der Tür).

What happened? Why didn’t you get any news from the project? The last weeks have been a rollercoaster ride. After the nerv wrecking, but eventually successful crowdfunding campaign I started working on the project. My main goal was getting the projector to work, so I could telecine the films myself. That is important to me as I don’t want to give the original movies away. My experiences with professional local services weren’t so good. So the projector should be the starting point for the 8mm-project, the tool that would provide me with the images to work with. But, alas, it wasn’t to be. Technical difficulties with the projector and piled up work that hadn’t anything to do with the project stole my time. And I got an offer I simply couldn’t refuse: I started working for Strukt, a company with a load of interesting projects and a great working atmosphere asked me to work with them. What else could I dream of? More time maybe? While my job situation did suddenly become more interesting that I could imagine, I wasn’t anywhere near my goal of constructing that projector. I have deconstructed (and destroyed) many optical lenses for great cameras just to get hold of those images I need for the project – without success. I couldn’t solve this problem. But sometimes you need to clear your mind and change perspective to get things done. For this I visited Brian Duffy of the Modified Toy Orchestra in Birmingham and spend some good days with him there. We have worked hard during the day and listened to music of our youth in the evenings. Turned out that Brian is friends with some of the heroes of my youth. We were listening to Swans Way, The Associates and Heaven 17 – if anyone is interested. I needed the time I spend in Birmingham to refocus. What are the problems of the project, how do I solve the block. How will bring a structure into the performance? Here I had a professional at hand to ask and to learn from his years of experiences. And those problems with the projector? While having a walk through lovely Moseley Village the problem kind of solved itself when Brian introduced me to Scott Johannsson, who not only works as a musician but also spends his time on projectors. His help solved quite a few problems. Well, let’s go then…

Die Projektsumme ist erreicht und ich bedanke mich bei allen Unterstützerinnen und Unterstützern sehr, sehr herzlich.
Alles, was über die veranschlagten 8.000,- hinaus geht, wird in einen Projektor investiert, der zu einer guten Abtaststation umgebaut werden soll, so dass ich bei den nächsten Projekten etwas flexibler sein kann.
Deswegen nicht nach lassen und die Werbetrommel weiter rühren, noch haben wir 30 Stunden Zeit.
Thank you so much for backing and supporting me, we made it!
I want to use all the additional money to buy me a projector that I plan to convert into a telecine film scanner to be more flexible for future projects.
So please share that project – we still have 30 hours left.

Über zwei Drittel geschafft und damit ist das 8mm-Project Preisträger des Bank Austria Kunstpreises!
Danke für eure Unterstützung!
Aber es ist noch nicht vorbei – in vier Tagen muss die Summe erreicht sein. Um das zu schaffen braucht es noch einmal eine große Kraftanstrengung. Gebt mir noch einmal richtig Schwung, es zu schaffen, denn nur wenn die Summe vollständig erreicht worden ist, bekomme ich die Unterstützung um euch die tollen Belohnungen auch auszuzahlen.
Also, gehen wir es gemeinsam an…
The 8mm-Project made two thirds of the sum and is now backed by the «Bank Austria Art Award»!
Thank you all for your support so far!
But it isn’t over yet – only four more days left to back that project I have put so much work and love into. So please help me spread the news about it. Tell your friends and family that you support the 8mm-Project and give me the momentum I need to make it. Only if I reach the complete sum I will be able to provide you with those cool rewards.
So let’s work on that…
