Metamorphoses I(xx)

For the multimedia exhibition Tangenten I (Tangents I), Dammbeck and co-organizer, sculptor and painter Frieder Heinze had planned to collaborate on a film that would combine non-camera animation with 35mm footage of a train ride between the two Dresden districts of Radebeul and Pieschen. When the exhibition was banned in 1978, Heinze turned to other projects, but Dammbeck continued working on the film by himself. Metamorphoses I—the first experimental film ever to be shown publicly in East Germany—marks the filmic beginning of Dammbeck’s long-term art project the Herakles-Konzept (Hercules Concept).

Pandemic(pl)

A computer animation in which the camera circles around an architectural structure, only to penetrate its center a moment later. The interior turns out to be an orderly tangle of a huge number of connections. Somewhere here, new energy is born. Electronic, pulsating music sets inanimate matter in motion, and it begins to live a life of its own. The camera closely follows its movements, taking the viewer on a hypnotic journey full of surprises.
