Oliver Boberg<br />
Wald, taken from the series Nacht-Orte, 2002<br />
16 mm on DVD, colour, sound, 30 m<strong>in</strong>. loop, ed. 6<br />
»An empty set, lit up for a film scene shot at night, only communicates with the viewer<br />
through the mise-en-scène.<br />
The model emphasizes the filmic parallel world.<br />
The works <strong>in</strong> the series Night Sites (Nacht-Orte) focus on our film rem<strong>in</strong>iscences.<br />
The viewer is supposed to say: ‘I know that. From what film is that taken?’ Yet here<br />
we are not confronted with exist<strong>in</strong>g film footage but with <strong>models</strong> I have created <strong>in</strong> my<br />
studio <strong>–</strong> that is only clichéd images for certa<strong>in</strong> places <strong>in</strong> films. Here romantic experience<br />
once aga<strong>in</strong> comes to bear. I have a sort of mythic sensitivity for film locations. That<br />
is, the images convey the myth of film, the production process, the speed, the fame.<br />
The viewer knows that everyth<strong>in</strong>g is <strong>art</strong>ificial but is still unable to penetrate the<br />
image.«<br />
