Aqua - (in case we forget what is ahead) is short experimental 7 minute film of 4 parts based on a Fibonacci sequence (of 1 x 1 x 2 x 3). There are voices but there is no literal dialogue.
The overall film concerns the loss of live giving assets (water) in a former utopian community which now hovers between urbanity and a distorted rurality
The four parts are: I Hemera (Day time) the late summer afternoon that show the layers of fields seen above the site of the river Pix with the layers reflecting underlying geographic stratifications and the sound from tunnels that cut through similar material.
II Enfolding Light (Hypnos) is the point between light and dark and time of sleeping and dreaming. The Flora reflecting water that seeps down from upper ground.
III Thresholds (Lethe) are the thresholds between dream and fantasy, death and life, the place of forgetting entered by way of a hollow tree that reflects the concept of Hades into spaces of ritual, water and dogs that guard the entrance and exit. The Hollow tree which is caused by burning was made into devilish space presumably by young people of the community.
IV Conveyor (Thanatos) the last spaces and the death of innocence, the destruction of the water source at its spring head and the sound of the mechanical conveyor representing a new fantasy that can be lived in vacations from the routine of dog walking every day or is it the final end?

Do you wish to know what will happen in the future?
Folklore often tells us a banal and mundane life that is a timeless matter with a strange event with a trickster. If people remember it, it’s because of its strangeness. Otherwise, it can be only a passing event that we never pay attention to, and forget it among busy daily events. A Japanese monk walks with “Shakujou” , which is a long stick with brass rings on top, while he practices on a mountain. Every step he walks on his path, the sound of metal rings make a mark on his life. Marks are a flow of time to the death, moment by moment, no matter if something happens, or not.
This is a story while a candle is lit.
“Yuke” is a foretelling that was fashioned in the 7th century in Japan. You stand at a corner of a crossroad and listen to the words of passersby at a dusk dark enough time you couldn’t tell who those passersby are. You bring those words to a foreteller. She will tell you what you want to know. Voices come to you are no one’s voice but comes from other worlds, demons, spirits and gods, through passersby. Isn't this a lot like what you would say on your psychoanalyst's bed?
The shrine maiden who wishes to listen to voices stands at a corner of a crossroad this evening.

Bam-pou-ki-itsu is a 禅語(zengo), Zen terms, which meaning is :

Felix (pronouns: they/them/he/him) is a 26 year afab enby identifying person living in Münster and passes by as a man. Their facial and body hair is a passport to their identity. One day while playing table tennis in the neighborhood, they are verbally attacked by a woman for being present in a FLINTA* only demonstration on women’s day. This opens up the conundrum of how their body is read by different people and how it can bring access or have access denied in certain spaces. Keeping calm, they chose to explore their own body, pondering on the relationship to their body hair and bodily expressions.
While working with a photographer friend, they pose for the camera with many intentions. Here they observe how certain body gestures become a code to a certain kind of body reading, gender identity and expression. With this observation, they are now finding nuanced ways to embody it and counter embody it . They creates a safe space in a bar that they co founded and where they go to arrives at the self with certain breathing and body rituals which then evolves into an ecstatic dance making the audience wonder what kind of performativity they do witn with people and what are safe spaces where one can just be self. By chronicling the various forces that influence how their bodies are read and counter-read in the society they live in, the film questions how many facets of gender identifications and how one finds solace in being a liminal body.

Mae West is a life preserver, an inflatable jacket, a pair of mountains, a specific type of parachute malfunction and the name of buxom film star. They are all “Mae Wests.” The name evokes an ensemble of sexual, quasi-sexual, and sexist pairings, as West’s body maps topography, risk, and rescue.
Through sampling, glitch editing, and pitch play, this film combines early newsreels and Harvard University science footage of actual, imminent hazards: a collapsed bridge, a train derailment, downed communication lines, intense storms, past disasters that foreshadow present current environmental and infrastructural crises. In the 1920s, these episodes were front page news; in “Malfunctions,” they are reassembled in a non-narrative, associative manner, moving from dark to light, from slow to fast, from escalation to dissolution. This montage of contrasts, offers scenes of natural and human-made disasters found in port cities, vignettes of fun and frolic, and an early twentieth-century airship seemingly still, held aloft in the sky. Connecting this cinematic collage is an extended remix of Mae West’s intensely sexualised version of a 1913 song by black Canadian composer Shelton Brooks, from the film She Done Him Wrong (1933). Radically slowed down, West’s mournful, sensual voice transforms loss and longing into a haunting stillness, played out over oddities in the news.
