HERZSOFORT.SETZUNG II (autogene Manipulationen)
HEART.INSTANT/IATION II (Autogenous Manipulations)
7:15 min | 1996 | BetaSP + 16mm | col | sound [MBCFILM#50]
(serielles Selbstportrait) | (selfportrait serial)
A medium is not an abbreviation that brings one thing to another, but rather a third added to two. A medium is not static, not a bridge, but develops a life of its own whenever activated.
The ECG of metempsychosis (from the genes to the zodiac).
Electrographics of the 4th Dimension.
{Information sheet of the film, 1996}

»Herzsofort.Setzung« is under no cirumstances a mindless rehearsal of various mediaforms. In spite of different forms like Super8, CD-Rom, VHS-Video, colour copy or computer print, that are presented sometimes in an absurd manner, the single generation of the pictures are linked by the pleasure lying in - the uncertainty of the process, also in the formulation of the question. What remains from the transformed man after his bath in the media?
(Filmwinter, Festival Catalogue 1996 - Ulrich Wegenast)

Eaton HK – Month-Long Pride Program
ECLIPSED BODIES, EMBRACED PRIDE
To celebrate Pride Month, Eaton HK will host a month-long queer arts and cultural programs from May 26 to August 12 2024. This year’s theme, “Eclipsed Bodies, Embraced Pride”, inspired by the astronomical phenomenon of "the eclipse of the stars".
The theme challenges societal norms, expectations, and definitions of perfect bodies, encouraging gender and sexual minorities, as well as people with disabilities, to embrace their unique experiences. We invite everyone to step out of the shadows cast by cis-heteronormativity and ableism, celebrating their own paths and thriving on their own terms.
(Text: Joseph Chen, Director of Culture, Eaton HK)
