“Someone very wise once said to me that love is a muscle. When we train for a sport, our coaches push us to our limits such that even if in the moment we feel like it isn’t possible to run any faster, swim any harder or jump any higher, we do it anyway. We exert ourselves such that at the end of training, not only are we are faster and stronger, we realise that we are capable of things that we didn’t think we were capable of. In the same way, it is when we feel that we cannot love someone any more (or even at all) that we should because that is how our capacity to love will grow to unexpected proportions.”
The Beauty of a Second
When we are pressed for time, we say ‘every second counts’; but when we are idle, we tend to let every second slip away.
While a single second might seem insignificant in the greater scheme of things, the One-Second Film Festival proves that it can be a poignant moment, especially on video. The competition was started by Mont Blanc to celebrate the invention of the chronograph in 190 years ago and entrants are asked to submit their most beautiful second captured on video, to celebrate the “fragile beauty of this short-lived unit of time”.
I like the idea that while photographs capture a particular moment, a second-long video captures the before and after of that shot. But while I’m here trying to figure out what constitutes to a second, I shall be content with watching the compilation of all the beautiful videos and the wonderful publicity film for the festival.

“How it would be, if a house was dreaming”
The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeability of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves - describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.KEWL.
