Videoscreening - The Artist’s (Self)Portrait: Personal Performance vs. Selfie

Group exhibition with works by Daniel Kötter, Manja Ebert, Juliane Zelwies, Heike Baranowsky, VIP, Caro Mantke, Anna Maysuk, Lena Marie Emrich, Lorenz Pasch, Björn Speidel, Pyrphoros, Andrea  Mikysková, Linda Weiss, Maryna Makarenko & Colin Rosati, Sabine Janz, Marianne Vordermayr.

In January 2016 Scotty Enterprises is hosting a screening of experimental film and video from artists who use the camera as a medium of self-expression and exploration of the ego. From dusk onwards the videos will be projected onto the shop window of the project space at Oranienstraße 46.
Self-portraiture has a long tradition. Ever since the use of the Sony Portapak, the video camera has been used as an instrument to explore one’s own body. Now, with the ubiquity of the cellphone and the rise of the selfie, the genre is undergoing a dramatic chance.
