Fleisch Thorsten
Thorsten Fleisch, German artist of the young generation born in 1972 who is into experimental film and has won many prestigious awards. His works became the recurring events at film festivals. Fleisch’s art develops the strategies of American avant-garde and the material film. In an outrageous way, he operates within the context of meta-reflection on film. He analyses the relations of film with a great feeling for it and an awareness of the historical context. His film is at the same time an experiment, in full definition of the word, while the artist becomes a researcher looking for new ways of seeing, new images, new contexts.
His films have been shown at festivals like: Annecy Animation Festival, Ars Electronica, Chicago Underground Film Festival, DOKfestival Leipzig, European Media Art Festival, Edinburgh Internation Film Festival, Filmfest Dresden, Imagina Monaco, Impakt, International Film Festival Rotterdam, International Short Film Festival Hamburg, Milano Film Festival, New York Film Festival, Ottawa International Animation Festival, Sarajevo Film Festival, Transmediale, Videoex.
