E3 director, producer, animator: Robert Seidel E3 (∞, E = eternity, 3 = 3 month) is the first work trying to capture my drawing and painting style into a moving picture. The movie is a 3-month-diary that I created while studying in the UK. It captures the beginning, with all its enthusiasm, energy and more or less sub-conscious hope that things develop differently in a new space. Followed by the phase were everything slows down to finally result in a complete breakdown into everyday life. This cycle happens over and over again, in all scales, in all relations … sometimes it can be a cozy, pleasant state … while other times it seems like Don Quixote, fighting against windmills …” Robert Seidel
director, producer, animator: Robert Seidel music: zero 7 feat. José González „In ‘Futures’ you will see crushed things, completely abstracted … finding together and building up to something we all have seen before … Like our true wishes and desires they shape over time and get clearer … followed by the next longing … Innuendos, artifacts and the rough synchronisation add subtle emotions to the uncertain process that build the morbid tableaux of all possible futures …” Robert Seidel
director, producer, animator: Robert Seidel music: Heiko Tippelt, Philipp Hirsch „_grau is a personal reflection on memories coming up during a car accident, where past events emerge, fuse, erode and finally vanish ethereally … various real sources where distorted, filtered and fitted into a sculptural structure to create not a plain abstract, but a very private snapshot of a whole life within its last seconds.” Robert Seidel
director, producer, animator, music: Robert Seidel vellum is a virtual sculpture of 100 x 125 x 80 meters located at COMO on SKT Tower (Seoul, South Korea) commissioned by Art Center Nabi. The multiple LED screens (56,6 x 1m / 5,1 x 4,1m / 35 x 1,2m + 3 times 1 x 6m) of COMO provide several thinly sliced views into this gigantic translucent formation, revealing time and space within the otherwise invisible as well as impossible structure. The perceived transformation is based on the sculpture wandering through the building seen from a fixed point of view. In „vellum“ motion is form and form is motion.
director, producer, animator: Robert Seidel „The world is full of disenchanted, old, drunken, lost or plain ignorant people, but a gray building block area multiplies their negative energy. Living in a house, where even a small „Hello!” is ignored, you have to try to think and be positive, sometimes in a desperate way … ‘Lightmare’ tells this little, somewhat naive story about being your own lighthouse …” Robert Seidel
