SELECTED PROJECTS

Documentary film based on the archives of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the local courts of the region that dealt with war crimes that were committed during the Yugoslav wars from 1991 to 2001, and the relevant media reports of the time. It focuses on the events that took place around the fall of Vukovar in November 1991. Through a juxtaposition of court and news media narratives of the time, with reenactments and archival footage, it aims to investigate the role of media as a propaganda tool from its respective initiators and their agendas, as well as the intertemporal dangers of mis- and disinformation.

Concept & Cover Artwork for the vinyl album Phrases by Eventless Plot, produced by Goethe-Institut Athen.

Phrases is a musical score by Eventless Plot and is based on various quotes from European and global culture which formed an integral part of the interactive installation “Disappearing Wall” by Goethe Institut.

In our approach to create the artwork for the vinyl cover, we drew from the idea of communication, that the installation is also attempting. We arrived through our research on the sign language’s visual gesture symbolizing communication and worked from there experimenting with stature, props, clothing, lighting, and other ideas. The final approach included the writing of quotes on the model’s hand and placing a wooden block from the “Disappearing Wall”, reenacting the sign of communication in combination with the gesture of exchange. When we finalized the image as the basis of our concept, we continued by creating a 3D capture of it through photogrammetry. A layer of it was then captured in what looks like a point cloud abstraction of the original idea. This level of abstraction we found necessary for the experimental approach of Eventless Plot towards their musical score, which is full of fragmented poetic verbal and nonverbal sounds. The artwork spreads on all four sides of the vinyl sleeve as it unfolds, recreating the movement of the hands it hosts.
