When compared to an ordinary person, a paranoid schizophrenic sees the world as if through a shattered mirror. But if perceptions create reality, then it is conceivable that a schizophrenic's world of shattered and reorganized perceptions could be as equally real as the "sane" world. In the mind of Frederic E. Drake, paranoid schizophrenic, every day is a fight for survival against nigh-insurmountable odds. In this collision of realities, which is illusion? What would you believe?

Gregor Seyffert as Vaslav Nijinsky runs barefoot across frozen leaves at the beginning. Then he enters one of the empty, half-ruined halls on the grounds. The room is a metaphor for Nijinsky's body.

The film is a process-based work that sets out to explore the nature of time – real time, mechanical time and filmic time. The film takes the form of a journey from the everyday outside to a dark interiority towards discovery and freedom.

Film by Eduard Shelganov. 16-mm.

A constellation-like video project emerging from No Ghost Just a Shell, this work repositions the digital character Annlee as an unstable subject caught between authors, images, and borrowed narratives. Rather than offering a single viewpoint, the piece multiplies perspectives: Annlee becomes a vessel through which different artists test the limits of agency, voice, and representation in the age of licensed avatars. I Am Dreaming About a Reality? examines what happens when a character is freed from commercial authorship yet remains bound to the expectations projected onto her—an experiment in identity that hovers between animation, conceptual art, and philosophical inquiry.

In Witness Screen, Annlee, a virtual entity shaped by contemporary artists, becomes a fragile witness to her own constructed existence, blurring the line between observation and identity.

"Salty" was filmed on location at an old salt mine on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, in the outskirts of the city of Burgas, where Daniel Bozhkov grew up. The video shows the artist licking the edge of a large mound of salt, the size of an Egyptian pyramid. Then he tries to dig a hole with his mouth and bury his head in the muddy ground. He only partially succeeds. An airplane flies behind the pyramid, preparing to land at the airport nearby. [Overview courtesy of 601Artspace]

A small, cheerful homage to one of Friedl vom Gröller's favorite directors – Carl Theodor Dreyer – or perhaps a game of telephone with acquaintances. (Dietmar Schwärzler)

In 1952, when the settlement was built in the far north of Munich, people from many different nations moved in: Latvians, Russians, Armenians, Poles, Ukrainians, Kalmyks, Sudeten Germans – all so-called displaced persons, people with no chance of returning to their homeland or emigrating after the war. Today, around 2,000 people live here in a truly multicultural society, happy about the tolerance and friendly neighborhood. However, this was once the site of a satellite camp of the Dachau concentration camp: "Living here is both a blessing and a curse."

73-year-old Paula Gruber is a midwife of the old school. In her community near Mühldorf, she has helped deliver almost all of the village's residents, and she can still remember each of the approximately 6,000 births. For twenty years, she worked with her mother in her maternity home—mostly around the clock and without a day off. After her mother's death, she was one of the first to start performing home births in the early 1980s, initially for eco-warriors, anthroposophists, dropouts, and women's rights activists. Paula is still working today in her daughter's midwifery practice, which is now in its sixth generation of bringing future Obertaufkirchen residents into the world.

A satirical mockumentary depicts the farewell of a young man named Vitia as he leaves for Italy. It's unclear what in this story is true and what is not - the filmmaker manages to speak about serious things in a seemingly lighthearted way.
