Philipp Fleischmann

Philipp Fleischmann’s artistic practice can be situated in the fields of the fine arts and film. He is certainly interested in the institutional logics and mechanisms (sometimes different, often comparable) into which he repeatedly intervenes as a protagonist. Questions of access also play a key role. For his strategies replete with institutional critique, Fleischmann has developed a formal idiom that is completely bound to analogue film. His works, such as those that were made in art institutions, picture these spaces via a photographical procedure and then transfer these into a filmic temporal sequence. In philipp fleischmann 2012/2013, the principle of the “gift“ is applied, when a 16mm film reel is left behind at openings or premières, thus initiating open-ended processes. This not only addresses institutional structures, but also the increasingly precarious process of making and distributing analogue film.
