Regelnull
REGELNULL is a homage to the experimental short film “Die Schleuse” (1961) from Harry Kramer. This group project from students from the animation class at the Kassel Art Academy brings together animation and live-action film and, with a visual language of self-determined techniques and themes, attempts to approach the methods and example of Kramer's original.

Duodezimalsystem
The art duo “Duodezimalsystem” unites the virtual and the human, the binary system of the computer and the human decimal system, in a universal work of art which covers all of the different positions that art contains. That makes the work above reproach and simply the greatest and most important work of art – at the Kassel Art Academy.

Why Does Everybody Hate Cars
Everybody knows why everybody hates cars. But one of the scientists in this film will tell you why everyone hates cars in reality.
Sixth Sense, Third Eye, Second Sight
Deceptive worlds, life as a puzzle, malleable like glass, non-swimmers in a sea of impressions, the calculation of broken-winged guardian angels, ventriloquists who confuse themselves with their dummies, one's own sleep as a mirror in the inside of the hourglass, to create a map of the world with blindfolded eyes and send one's self through the mail, the burial of time as the greatest triumph of childhood and the question of how to find one's own perspective when one is looking through the eyes of others and standing across from one's self. Sometimes all the parts go together but the picture still makes no sense.
