. "FALLING".
  How does energy come into the world?
  Exploring the energy conservation principles 1-6 Mat",
  Berlin 2003
. dv pal, color, 5 min



"Falling" is a code for the basic condition of our daily
life, which we aren’t usually conscious of. "Falling"
means perpetual dying, perpetual falling apart.
"Falling" shows different instances of falling in Berlin,
at the Greinapass (Switzerland) and in the mountains of the
Elbsandsteingebirge
(Germany). "Falling" are short performances, in which I
explore the connection and separation of consciousness,
will and body: I let my body plunge into the Spree-canal.
I roll down a hill, spinning around myself until I fall over.
I hop on a high rock until I collapse and meditate by
balancing a stone on top of my head. When I’m falling
asleep, he falls down and I wake up...

"Falling" was screened at e.g. 17th SÃO PAULO INTERNATIONAL
FILM FESTIVAL 2006 / PLASTICIENS DU WEB, Centre Pompidou,
Paris 2005 / FLUXUS 2005, 5th international Film Festival on
the Internet / PURGATORIO. WIE WIRD MAN, WAS MAN IST? Theater
am Halleschen Ufer Berlin 2003
