ONE MINUTE SUITE 2011
festival internazionale di video della durata di 1 minuto
Videominuto is an international exhibition of videos not longer than one minute in duration
taking place at the Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Art in Prato, Italy.
Starting point for the festival is the desire to enquire into how brevity of format,
as the only binding condition, influences video-work in terms of impact, stylistical choices and content ...
My new Shortfilm with Pavel Dovgal's track "1mm" is part of the 1 Minute Suite Festival programme 2011.
The event takes the form of a happening animating the spaces within the Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Arts of Prato, Italy,
more than ever an appropriate location for a festival with a mission to enquire into the possible hybridations in media and audiovisual languages ...

IdN Video v17n6
Alternative Music/Quirky Video
My MA project and official MV for Columbus "Lovemachine" is featured on IdN's brand new DVD "The Magic of MV"
"...Ever since Michael Jackson’s Thriller thrilled the world, the music video has been our preferred way of enjoying music with visuals.
Long gone are the days when groups simply stood and mimed amid a miscellany of mood scenery.
The MV has become a playground for promising young directors to cut their teeth on mini-movies.
And many have indeed gone on to greater things."

AMOS - SHOWTIME
Cover artwork for "Amos - Showtime" record sleeve project
I was asked to take part in a record cover art project invented by german-iranian musician and entertainer AMOS.
The record will be released on vinyl with a blank white cover. More than 450 visual artists from Munich, Berlin, Paris,
London, New York, Los Angeles, and all over the world have created individual artworks across all genres.
My mosaic inspired artwork was solely made of pieces I found inside a few of my ghettoblasters.
I used cables, a lot of filters, electrolytic capacitators, a read head of a cd boombox (show) and some LC-Displays (time).
After numerous hours of glueing I painted it with fluorescent red and violet.
The record will be released on 26 August 2010 on Sounds of Subterrania in Hamburg. Check out the newsroom
