Jan Machacek

* 1975, Austria

Born 1975 in Vienna, Austria. Study of sculpture and stage-design in Vienna and Karlsruhe. Since 2001 Jan Machacek is showing his 'live-Video-Performances'. In these works the film-studio is turned into a stage for performances. The performer appears as cameraman, director, technician and actor at the same time. He films himself, in sections and manipulated by optical tricks on a stage that is transformed into a film-studio.
