The File Arts presents:
Moment / Bridge
by Mareen Fischinger

At the end of the year 2012 we come at the end of the series Moment. And the series ends with death.

This might seem ending the year on a down note. Death is final. But death in art is a memento mori: “remember you are mortal”. Are we enjoying life as much as we could or should be? Are we taking care of the things that actually are important to us? These reflections can be a new beginning.

This is the end of 2012. A new year 2013 is about to begin. We survived the crisis, we did not throw our arms up in despair and quit, the apocalypse did not happen. So far so good. But I hope next year is better… and in the way you want it to be, in the way that is important to you.

I wish you all the best in 2013.

The File Arts presents:
Moment / Dirttrack
by Mareen Fischinger

Two people on a remote dirt track. A man, talking in a phone, at a discrete distance from a woman in a car, her face streaked with tears. We think we know what happened here, from the woman’s tears, to the man’s detached posture. But it says more about ourselves, this scenario we project, than about what actually perspired. Did he break up with her? Did he interrupt a nice evening out with her to take a business phone call and she just won’t take this any more? Did he have an affair and confessed just now? Did she just panic after they ran out of gas at such a remote location?

The colour in this picture is fantastic; it is the most dramatically and theatrically lit of the series. This enhances the dramatic impact of the scene: it is significant, monumental, the sorrow of the woman vs the detached posture of the man become iconic. But the narrative is not filled in; the image invites us to fill it in based on our emotional response.

The File Arts presents:
Moment / Tramcar
by Mareen Fischinger

This photograph can be your action-movie of tonight: a man in a tramcar points a gun at the other passengers: a whole crowd held at gunpoint.

Between these people there are so many reactions; so many ways the story could unfold; I cannot help but think of all these people involved. Each with their own lives, as full and complex as mine, getting together to act out this scene. Each of them acting out a violent and traumatic experience, reflecting on how they would react; making us think of how we would hold ourselves. Imagining how the story will unfold.
