Marcus Held in conversation with Nanna Heidenreich about his films
The English word capture means to catch something, to capture in an image or with catch nets. Marcus Held's images and sounds test other ways of relating, both in dealing with the process of capturing and in thinking about his material and the media used to convey it. Sequenzen bewohnen is a proposal for such a different way of working: artistically as well as ecologically and can also be understood as a description of the works presented - DNA sequences, image sequences, sequences of arrangement.
In Imagines (2013, video, 26 min.), a person observes dragonflies and a camera observes the observer. Other Sky (2019, video, 30 min.) traces the inseparable connections between the ecology and economy of the skylark in Europe by visualising different levels of illusion.
In Transplantations (2020 Mixed Media), emptied herbarium sheets are redescribed in an attempt to visualise (post)colonial connections between plants and people between Leipzig cotton mills and colonial botanical institutes in East Africa.
After the open-air cinema, filmmaker Marcus Held will talk to media culture scholar Nanna Heidenreich about his work.
