Carlson Lohner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lohner Carlson is the name of the artist duo Henning Lohner and Van Carlson , whose artistic work began in 1989. Since Carlson's death in 2011, Lohner has continued it alone. The duo is best known for the Active Images series , which marks a border area between film and photography.

Working with John Cage

The artistic collaboration between the film composer and filmmaker Henning Lohner and the cameraman and photographer Van Carlson began in 1989. The collaborative work of the artist duo was shaped by their joint work with the composer John Cage . These works include the meticulously planned art film One11 and 103 . The work, which is Cage's only feature-length film, has no plot and consists of black-and-white images that form the basis of a composed score as a script and are accompanied by Cage's piece 103 . The film deals with the effect of light in an empty room and the perception of this and is considered a "poetic as well as suggestive cinematic essay". At the reception, the uniqueness of the work in film and music history was emphasized, with critics calling it “masterful”, “dreamlike” and “magical”.

With the completely composed homage The Revenge of the Dead Indians (1993) Lohner and Carlson Cage posthumously set a cinematic memorial. Numerous artists appear in it, including Dennis Hopper , Matt Groening , Heiner Müller and Yoko Ono , and talk about Cage's work and his influence. The daily newspaper wrote that Lohner's 130-minute homage to the avant-garde musician Cage led "in unobtrusive image-sound didactics to the compositional principles of the man to whom modern music owes the symbiosis of harmony and chaos."

Active Images

1995 was first Lohner and Carlson's audiovisual installation Raw Material, Vol. 1-11 shown , which was exhibited among others in The Hague, Rome and Berlin. The video composition was created from Lohner's several hundred hours of raw material archive and showed both interviews and landscapes on eleven monitors in "an equal coexistence of language, images and sounds."

This installation resulted in the series of works Moving Images / Active Images , which were shown for the first time in 2006 at the Springer Gallery in Berlin under the title raw material - portraits and landscapes . According to Lohner, the idea arose out of the “love for video photography and the later desperation about the loss of these images if a film was cut from them.” Lohner and Carlson's framed video images mark the border area between film and photography; In static camera settings, film excerpts from landscape and portrait shots are shown. The selected section of the world moves, the camera is motionless.

Since Carlson's death in 2011, Lohner has continued the work alone. Lohner himself describes the work as "visual music".

Lohner Carlson's media art has been shown in numerous exhibition venues around the world, including the Center Georges-Pompidou , San Francisco Museum of Modern Art , Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, the Galleria Traghetto in Venice and Rome, and the Kunsthalle in Emden , National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur and the Mira Art Collection in Tokyo.

reception

The cultural journalist Detlef Wolff wrote in 1996 that the work of Lohner Carlson rose “far above the often so barren lowlands of video art. It can form a peak because its originator perfectly masters the technical requirements for a creative use of the camera and does not give out any poorly thought-out declarations of intent as results. [...] With his work, Lohner identifies himself as a permanently curious artist who is capable of taking a closer look. Time and again he succeeds in discovering the extraordinary in the seemingly normal. "

Tip Berlin wrote about the “picturesque video scenes”, they “put time out of action. You can lose yourself almost endlessly in the reflections of the water, follow the flow of traffic on the Istanbul Bridge or be enchanted by the jumping fish in the Märchenwaldsee. "

The Rheinische Post described an exhibition in 2015 as follows: “The very slow moving and time consuming film images are characterized by a strong, albeit often subtle, rhythm. The gondolas of the London Ferris wheel move like clock marks, the reflective facade on Canary Wharf is rhythmically structured. The movements of a blooming bush act like a dance to inaudible music. "

Another review noted that Lohner Carlson “links the boundary between still and moving images in a fascinating way”: “The boundary between image and film becomes fluid. [...] Movement is associated with strong light reflections, which is in stark contrast to the calm city scenery. Lingering in the moment, carried by the idea of ​​escaping the image density we are used to, defines the central theme. "
