Christian Jankowski

16mm Mystery, 2004



Jankowski’s artistic projects – which include film, video, photography and actions – combine various media to reflect on the continual superimposition and increasingly blurred boundaries between everyday life and art, reality and invention, the public and private spheres of our lives.

In 16 mm Mystery Jankowski approaches two special effects experts, the Hollywood-based Brothers Strause, to help him bring to life a 35mm film project. Jankowski insists upon the skeleton of the action: The artist carries film projection equipment to a place, where he sets it up, and screens a film.
