Agricola de Cologne announces the release of a new video, entitled:
Sinamaica - Embarkments
Differently than other videos, the film is not focussing on the experimental aspects, but uses film material shot while the artist was visiting Sinamaica - a region near Maracaibo/Venuzuela close to the Colombian boarder, where aboriginals are living on wooden huts on the waters of the laguna of Sinamaica.
The film shows in three episodes how local people use the wooden boats as their way of communicating, moving and determing one’s life.
On 30 May 2009, a new one minute video was released, entitled:
The Pleasure Code

In January 2009, two smaller video projects will be finished and premiered online.
“Burning Phantom” is an experimental one minute film about the burning phantom, called “love”, the other video is the first artistic result of the travel to Venezuela in October 2008, entitled: “Mi nombre es Wilfried”. The 6 minute film is in its original in Spanish, and it will remain Spanish, at the end of the movie, it will be come clear why.The film shows the confrontation of different cultures, and as the result of it being curious and open for the difference, the unknown, but also its limits. Communication is always broaden one’s mind. “Spanish” could be replaced by any other language.
The next video is entitled: ” Attack” , while sitting on a dentist’s chair you are continuously under attack.
These current video releases are different than all previously released ones,
they are no hybrids, i.e. produced for the presentation on both festivals and gallery installations, but are expressively produced for gallery installations, two videos in a series which will be continued during the coming months by works in which time is manifesting itself in most different ways.
