I HAVE NOT BEEN AFRAID OF GOING BLIND FOR A LONG TIME
I HAVE NOT BEEN AFRAID OF GOING BLIND FOR A LONG TIME
Yannick Mosimann
The filmmaker captures his environment with the camera, fearing he might be losing it more and more. Strict rules about using the entire clip length and its original audio track inform the editing process. The tableaus and their insistence in duration create a pull into an increasingly isolated state of perceiving the outside world in its unspectacular yet strangely unfamiliar intensity.

Director of Photography
The defective 16mm footage in Yannick Mosimann's "Nature.Meadow.Sky.Long Shot" gives rise to eerie, abstracted images, while descriptions of those images through voiceover and onscreen text create a potent gap between what we are watching and what we’re being told is there.

Notes of Forms
Notes of Forms
Director
How can the complex narrative of experience be understood as a coherent whole through the collection of states and thoughts? Since 2016, YR has dedicated itself to the ongoing exchange of its creative processes and focuses on the conscious abolition of any type of judgement. YR uses real life experiences and observations as its basic materials – what emerges is a growing collection of inner and outer realities by way of image, sound and text. The artists see themselves as storytellers who observe and question, document and recycle. This continuum can be understood as a sketchbook without a fixed vision. «notes of forms I» is the first audio-visual collection (journal movie) outside their ongoing blog work, in which YR exclusively uses materials from its artistic processes between January and March 2021
