Live and act

Mohné studied at the University of Essen and postgraduate at the Art Academy for Media Cologne . He lives and works in Cologne .

Achim Mohné experiments with the space and time intervals of the media photography , film , video and digital image production. In his experiments he shows the surprising ways of using the sound and image machines we are familiar with today. Objective, documentary recordings turn out to be complicated construction processes of n-dimensional event channels far below our illusionary perception. In his projects and models, Achim Mohné described the careful synchronization and desynchronization of audiovisual event channels, their adjustment to regular image and audio-image machines and the complementary process of their irregular distribution. Mohné's strategy of stochastic multiprojectility plays sovereignly with dispersion and concentration, with the shifting of foreground and background and the blurring of identity and difference . (Dr. Peter von Brinkemper)

In 2007 he founded with the designer Uta Kopp international communications project REMOTEWORDS that on the traditions of land art building world news as aerial view messages disseminated.

He has taught at the Art Academy in Münster , Indiana University Bloomington , Folkwang University of the Arts and ETH Zurich .
