A tittle spark in the dark. FUTURE // NOW presents itself in the form of hints, a reflective play of colors in which much remains hidden. For a brief moment, the video provides an insight into a rapidly changing sequence of images in which a mixture of meaning and irrelevance, coincidence and intention takes place. Where is the gaze directed? To the possibilities offered by the future, to fragmentary memories of past moments in life, to the emerging present? In this constellation of fleeting snapshots, a loose totality is formed. It is up to the viewer to read a structure or meaning from it - if it calls for one at all. For FUTURE // NOW, KOLLEKTIV BETON used video material from the collective pool. The three-minute loop was created with modern control technology from Superposition.

The walk-in video installation directs the viewer’s gaze towards what is hidden behind the usual, the obvious, the unambiguous.From the low angle perspective we explore the nature of things - the surface of an eye, the weight of a container, the pulsating movement of a jellyfish. Through the shift in perspective, through magnification, reduction, acceleration and deceleration, familiar surroundings seem like distant galaxies, the concrete becomes abstract. Some images are clearly identifiable while others cannot be classified or recognised as anything specific. In this state of uncertainty, the sound and images we perceive momentarily stand alone, having an impact on us before they are understood or located. We have the time to behold and to explore what is projected on the screen. The 30-minute video loop has a cyclical narrative. In the interaction of tension and release, of densification and dissolution, SKIES unfolds from image to image. Transitions become transformations, one shot flows into the next, always accompanied by the new and unexpected. The unknown has yet to be discovered. Enhancing this visual experience, an atmospheric soundtrack unfolds with real life sounds and original musical compositions over sixteen channels – resulting in a three-dimensional acoustic space. SKIES is a continuation of the video installation MIT DEM BLICK NACH OBEN (2016). <img width="1207" height="1702" width_o="1207" height_o="1702" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21b441cf52519f73d98b98f85b93fca7e3aef7f16444e10bdab0b894d2db433d/Poster_Container.jpg" data-mid="163695007" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/21b441cf52519f73d98b98f85b93fca7e3aef7f16444e10bdab0b894d2db433d/Poster_Container.jpg" /> SKIES 2022 video installation30min, loop1:1 roundcolour, digital, 4K 16-channel audio8 x 8 x 4m construction a project by Kollektiv Beton editing - Aurora Vögeli music - Rahel Zimmermann sound design - Gina Keller color grading - Patrischa Freuler construction - Nino Stauffer supported by: Zürcher Filmstiftung Migros Kulturprozent Volkart StiftungErnst Göhner Stiftung Minerva Kunststiftung Swiss Films screenings: BaseCamp PopUp by Locarno Film Festival, 2022, Locarno 58. Solothurner Filmtage, 2023, Solothurn SKIES - TEASER by Kollektiv Beton (Rebekka Friedli &amp; Nathalie Kamber) from Kollektiv Beton on Vimeo. NO DANCING AT NIGHT....................................................................................................................... NO DANCING AT NIGHT follows the urge to move and a longing to dance the night away. The unfulfilled act of feeling a rhythm together, diving into the music and being carried away.With the second wave of Covid in 2020, the absence of physical and metaphysical spaces became noticeable. We felt a longing for places of encounter and movement, dancing along to a rhythm together with others. Spaces in which a sphere of moving bodies emerges, detached from everyday conventions and constraints. Spaces that are no longer accessible due to the current situation, that can no longer be experienced. The short film expresses the impossibility of creating such a place on one‘s own. The wish remains unfulfilled, the dancer stays alone with herself. Even in the daydream, the absence of others persists.

The building contains four changing rooms that are used by swimmers and that become open sound spaces in ARURA. When visitors enter the cubicles, sensors trigger various sound tracks that play aspects of the river in random order. At the same time, caustics, rays of light refracted on the water surface, flicker on the walls of the cabins. The name ARURA refers to the oldest surviving designation of the river Aare from late Roman times. The work was conceived and realised in 2020 as part of JETZT KUNST N°9.

The video is projected from below onto a horizontal screen and experienced while lying down. The camera position shows the world from below through an extreme low angle. By looking upwards, the visitors dive into underwater worlds and return to the surface of the water, into a new world that unfolds above their heads. The diving in and out of the water divides the film into individual scenes that tell different moods and stories. The visual worlds are accompanied by a sound composition by the artist Thomas Kuratli, who interweaves noises and musical sounds.

Together we realise films and audiovisual installations. Our work focuses on phenomena that tend to elude everyday perception; we explore the possibilities of taking a second look at things and seeing them in a different light. In doing so, we acquire new methods, adopt unusual perspectives, highlight details, use materials detached from their purpose, break rules and conventions. The joy of trying things out and our curiosity for new formats drive the development of our projects. The alternated perspectives enable new perceptions of spaces that we want to share with others. Our collaboration thrives on intersections and contrasts: We meet in a common vision and attitude and complement each other in our very different skills. In order to be able to implement independent projects we founded the association KOLLEKTIV BETON in 2019. For our artistic projects we work together with other young professionals from the creative industry who enjoy trying out new ways of working, methods and processes and who see interdisciplinary exchange as an enrichment. The association forms the foundation for these creative escapades, a foundation as solid as concrete. More about us: www.nathaliekamber.com www.rebekkafriedli.com
