SØREN THILO FUNDER
The Adaptation (No-thing me-lanch-oly 'bout us)
18 April - 18 May 2014
In his audiovisual productions Søren Thilo Funder brings elements of critical theory, literature, pop culture and cinema as well as aspects of counter-cultural disciplines together. His works are caught in between reenactment, performance and cinematic fiction. The current two-channel video work is based on Funders cinematic adaption of a scene derived from Jean-Paul Sartres novel “La mort dans l’âme” (1949) as well as the diaries that Sartre wrote during the second world war in 1939 and 1940. With his installation in the claustrophobic black and the bright cold white showrooms Funder takes the spectator into a sort of headspinning time travel, in which the concept of history and historicity permanently collide showing an entry point into a contemplative exercise on the shared space of history, cinema, theater and war. Søren Thilo Funder is currently receiving a fellowship from the Danish Arts Council Copenhagen in the context of our International Studio Programme.
