Pasajeros peregrinos pilotos

a video by: Thomas Köner

music: Porter Ricks

production: Thomas Köner

label: Chain Reaction, Hardwax

Germany, 2008

Jury Statement:

Because we were amazed by the video’s image editing principle which is as simple as it is plausible. The classic view from a window down to a square reveals the pedestrians’ movements as ornaments, creates a visual narrative and effortlessly links it to the phenomenon that social ornaments in our control-obsessed society allow intimate conclusions about the individual.

Germany, 2009

Jury Statement:

This video convinced us by its thematic and creative competence. The coloured planes, edited like strobe light into the clip, put the visual narrative into perspective and provide a reflective contrast.

a video by Karl Kliem

production: Dienststelle

music: Lithops

label: Thrill Jockey

Germany, 2008

Jury Statement:

We liked this video because it has a kind of negative grandeur, generated by an overdose of everyday ugliness, down to the grotesque masks of bland hot-topic politicians and website graphics standardised to death. The powers of the deliberately bored are mobilised against this lightly directed banal digital pollution.
