Dietmar Brehm has made videos and draws and paints, and since 2007 he has developed 141 scenes within his PRAXIS series, a composite work that Brehm intends to continue. On the one hand, he sees the PRAXIS series as a way to explore his own earlier films and to “develop new dramaturgies of image and sound by means of electronic image transfo…
My artistic work revolves around themes of the built environment and urban living spaces, which are dealt with in different ways in the films selected for the program.
