Production Berlin/Vis 2003

A Summer camp for artists on the island of Brac in Croatia. The participants have freedom of work style, working with the theme "layers and transparency in nature and group processes". In the evening there are roundtables with presentations and discussions.

Experimental documentation: A 30min. videotape. The participants can "insert" on this tape at any point (ie. middle of the tape). This can be done with the camera, or transferred from another camera, or from the computer, as they wish. But always on this tape. After a short time the tape is full, and new recordings erase older recordings. The edit, along with the group process, becomes denser. Each day a new copy of the tape is made. At the end of the workshop a superimposed version of all daily copies is made. Some day layers are clearly recognizable, others less so. In the lower part of the picture the daily copies are lined up as small pictures . The Tape will be shown as a projection installation. An interactive DVD follows.
