TRIP – Remix Your Experience is a German Gesamtkunstwerk, a synthesis of the arts, authored and produced by Frank Otto and Bernt Köhler-Adams in 2005. As early as December 2004, it was premiered for the very first time as a multimedia installation at the Instituto Superior de Arte under the auspices of the Havana Film Festival. The world premiere as an experimental film took place in September 2005 at Expo 2005 in the prefecture of Aichi in Japan as an element of the official supporting cultural programme for the German pavilion. A full-scale performance was given for the first time in December 2005 in the USA at Bergamot Station in California. == Content and Plots == In all of the forms in which this psychedelic work is depicted, the recipient viewer/listener is called upon as the “final author” to allow their own individual storyline to arise. The basis for the cinematic-musical concept piece is formed by a Progressive rock piece of music 74 minutes long. The session formation “The Element Project” interprets a variety of human relationships to the environment, to nature and love in English. The spectrum of stylistic tools ranging from Rock to Jazz, Blues, Ethno and on to the avant-garde defines the dramatisation of four different films. *artwork is a painting performance on the floor which comes about before a bookshelf wall of video films. It tales the tale of a housepainter and how, for him, the fresh paint he applies seems to become a painting that grows larger and larger in the course of his boring work. He encounters a mermaid thereby, who takes on human form in association with the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, yet is unable to speak and can no longer leave her element. He finds her shyness so appealing that he follows her in her travels, trying time and again to win her affections, until he finally grasps that he will have to adapt himself to her and becomes one with the painting. *seamusic is a diving excursion to unknown creatures in the underwater world: from macro-footage of plankton to symbiotic relationships and a crab riding rodeo-style on an alga in an underwater storm, all the way to dynamic diving camera sequences of moray eels on the hunt. Apart from “speed-ups” to illustrate the motoric movement of sea cucumbers, all of the shots are genuine documentary film footage of nature. *playing planet uses docufiction to juxtapose the relationships of different cultures from 15 countries. The woman who lives in a traditional Sudanese family while working in a scientific laboratory, or the young American woman (Amber Steele) who uses provocative behaviour that deviates from the norm to put herself at a distance to her warfare-conducting homeland. The flight of an Indian couple to enable a marriage based on love, or the struggle to obtain justice for oneself in Haiti. Accounts of a Brazilian voodoo cult and on to the magic of Chinese dragons, of dynamite fishing to sport diving, the joy of having a meal and the kick from a parachute jump. *In track 2, a young woman riding the underground subway explores the thoughts and dreams of her fellow travellers within the tunnel walls. 30 episodes by 30 film-makers in just as many cinematic styles. The range encompasses animation film, collages, B/W silent film, photo film, art film, karaoke and video clips in stories about the ceremonial birth of Earth, duelling, love, lost toys, discovering the unknown, Barbie and Ken, and lots more. As regards the 8 additional video-wall films from the bookshelf wall in “artwork”, these equally deal with a mimical portrait that interprets the music, two computer animations, two VJ productions and documentary footage of the painting performance, straight through to the musicians involved. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TRIP – Remix Your Experience」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
