Augustin Rebetez

ROTOR

The motifs of this year's festival campaign are all video stills from the short clip produced by the award-winning Swiss photographer and video artist Augustin Rebetez. His crazy flight across the Landiwiese is a ludicrous collage of the festival's various aspects. The 28-year old artist has a great affinity for the performing arts. His works are often complex installations – panoptic spaces populated by grotesque figures – which he films and photographs. At the festival, Rebetez presents «ROTOR», a stop-motion-video-installation. Come and see this weird universe full of «strange machines wandering about like lost animals, old telephones screaming and dancing around hysterically, doors and windows singing a depressive opera».
