Nachtsichtfestival

Adele Tulli

Adele Tulli’s visually stunning documentary »Normal« is about rigid gender roles and the uncritical submission of many people to the dictates of (hetero) normativity. The director points the camera at everyday actions, rituals and scenes and through a contradicting image-sound montage makes the situations appear strange.

Call of Comfort

Camille Tricaud & Franziska Unger

A »fake« commercial for a fictional airline that confronts us with our own contradictions: we all want to travel, discover the world, feel free, spend little money and visit friends in other countries over the weekend. At the same time more and more people are becoming aware of the ecological consequences of air travel. Are we ready to compromise in order to live responsibly? Is it a purely individual or a political question?

Apocalypse Airline

Charlotte Oelschlegel

Viola or bass, symphony or synthpop, E or U? Charlotte Oelschlegel can never decide which one to choose. That’s why she made this musical potpourri her calling, studied music journalism for radio and multimedia at the University of Music in Karlsruhe, Germany and took her fascination for music of all genres into her profession. For two years now she has been working as a music journalist and radio presenter at NDR Kultur – always according to the motto: Between the drawers you can find the most exciting things!

:// In the Youtube playlists put together for Nachtsicht, Charlotte raises questions, turns our listening habits upside down and provides warmth.

How does simultaneity sound?

Decolonize your listening habits!

A warm hug.

Christine Koschel

As an artist Christine Koschel deals mostly with the image of identity. The idea of a biographical identity, which can be accepted or challenging, is depicted in her work. Especially the localization of oneself in society and the connected idea of where societal expectations place a person, which also includes stereotyping and discrimination and the interdependency between self-perception and external perception, are challenged in her art pieces.

:// At the Nachtsicht Festival, Paula Kohlmann speaks with Perla Londole and Marcel Roth about the possibilities and limits of coming together. The panel discussion »His head is turning by a degree or two« is based on the radio play »Houston, Houston, Do You Read!« and is moderated by Christine Koschel. The talk is held in German.

Desir Vitom

Having alma mater in her back Desir Vitom drives to paradigm paradise with various paternosters and this time she comes back with a sound of hell that informs you, steals from you, and copulates you with truth.

:// At the Nachtsicht Festival the artist sets the video single HOLY PATTERN free.

HOLY PATTERN

Faffa Faffa

Mama always said… The table has to be set for one extra person. Someone could come along spontaneously and this person shouldn’t feel »unwelcome« (aka watch while the others are eating or even stay hungry). Indeed, most often this space was occupied. Especially after word got around about how good the food tasted. Mostly it was my best friend who filled this empty space and with it her stomach (way too much). I noticed that Persian food tastes so particularly good from the way (and the amount) she ate. For me it was normal. Nobody ever left this place without raving about the food and the stories around it. That one place of surprise turned into six. If you are curious about Persian food, you come, eat, ask (or not), get to know new things or get to know something familiar from a different perspective. Hopefully, in the end, you will like it as much as my best friend did. Come and take a seat! And if you want to cook with me, go ahead.

James Tiptree Jr. is the male pen name of Alice B. Sheldon (1915-1987). For science fiction fans she is one of the great classical authors. Tiptree’s mysterious identity fascinated fans and gave rise to much speculation, although everyone believed she was a man. The revelation during her lifetime was a blow: These terse, tough and cheeky short stories, which all too often ended in death, were written by an old lady with white feather curls…

:// At the Nachtsicht Festival the German translation and interpretation of the short story »Houston, Houston, Do You Read!« by James Tiptree Jr. will be presented as a radio play. We would like to thank Septime Verlag for the friendly cooperation. The radio play is in German.

Jennifer Reeder

Crystal Lake is about a group of young girls who take over a skate park, forming an all-female force field on the half pipe. There on the reclaimed ramp, with no boys around, they are thriving and visible. This is an anthem for young feminists, which presents female friendship as a means to survive adolescence. EVERY GRRRL-SHAPED BREATH IS A BATTLE CRY.

A Passo di Mulo (a dance for listening)

These are times of reverie.

Let words and sounds take us to imaginary worlds.

We are on stage together, back to that magical realism, the one you feel in your body.

Listen to the dance, imagine the movement.

You are strongly advised to use headphones.

Close your eyes.

Enjoy something that lasts.

Today I wander with a fixed but flexible gaze, with my knees light, and my feet continuously submerged in the dust, in the mud, in the water, in the stone. Tirelessly I go on, carrying my earth in my stomach, carrying their weight on my back. I cross landscapes of flesh, I vibrate with the cries of the deaf dust and I lose myself in the attempt to continue, to reinvent myself. I let the yellow dust mark my veins, I bear the vertical burden of my head and let the force of someone else’s breath renew me. I move and plunge, plunge and move, always forward, as Doña Esperanza used to say.

Lloyd Marquart

untitled, 2020

series of 3 GIFs, 500 x 500 px each

The virtual objects in the series act as doors to chatrooms on the Nachtsicht festival website. Using 3D software, Lloyd Marquart continues to explore the visceral and organic dimension in digital space. Each constellation is based on moments of exchange and explores the layer of closeness and messiness in human interaction. Although none of the scenarios feature human figures, several components ranging from a rounded plastic cube to a neatly arranged circle of stones suggest a meticulous arrangement by humans.

Maren Frey

Maren Frey is a multidisciplinary artist. As a part time flight attendant she photographically enacts the blur of her actions as an artist and an everyday performer on board of the airplane.

In the 24 digital drawings and collages that she created for Nachtsicht Festival she debates the status quo of a world in a rush of lifestyles, travel and consumption – that at the same time yearns for transcendental nature experiences – and decorates it with textual ornaments. Safety and absurdity. The global connector: the airplane appears as a place of mystical experience where the potential for catastrophe floats along. It is a liminal sphere where a shift in the sense of time and space happens. The technical airplane and all creatures – plants and animals and earthlings – merge and build new synapses.

Mayco is a rapper and songwriter from Tel Aviv, Israel,

on the journey of self-discovery and the wonders of existence.

Mayco believes that development comes from consciousness. She tries to transcribe human emotions as tools of development.

On the EP she has worked on with her producer Jonny for the past two years she realizes these ideas in 7 short songs that both, musically and verbally, focus on the essence of emotion.

Mayco’s roots are with the Hebrew Feminist Movement.

Her show is theatrical and alien and moves between laid-back R&B, swing and jazz and the anger of old school Hip Hop and Trap.

:// At the Nachtsicht Festival you can see the artist’s late night rap show.

Mizi Lee & Julius Nägele

Our way of life is not negotiable (George H. W. Bush), 2020
performance, website, Holy Water

On August 9,2020 the artist duo Mizi Lee and Julius Nägele found a strange fountain: Ten thousands of liters of fresh water were sprayed onto a server cooling system and, after this solemn contact with the Internet, seeped into the arid ground. In a sacramental act, the artist donated a clean basin to this fountain. Since the fountain is placed on private property and is not open to the public, during the Nachtsicht Festival the water is available in bottles of 25 ml online on www.godblessyou.me.

At an interval of 20 years, in 1992 and 2012, John Vidal from Rio de Janeiro reports on the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development: “The favelas were in lockdown, schools closed and supermarkets stood empty. (…) the world had seen nothing like this before.” *

It is recommended to keep this water at home close to the wireless router and watch the recording of the sacramental act. The attached document of the Rio Declaration should also be read carefully.

Be blessed!
