Listen to the void (Single)
DESCRIPTION
This piece is from a series exploring sensuality in the context of light and movement. A person is captured in an intimate moment and refracted through interaction with transparent liquids. Nils uses long exposures, drip painting techniques and a chiaroscuro lighting style to evoke cosmic impressions of the human body.
AUTHOR
Born in Washington D.C. and raised in Germany, I worked my way up from camera rental intern to commercial and music video director, before returning to the U.S. to attend the Master of Fine Arts program at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. While in school, I was commissioned to create a architectural documentary short for the Wattis Museum in San Francisco, which introduced me to the local design community. I have since produced numerous photo & video productions for architects and designers. This environment led to an award winning mixed media series and a solo exhibit at AIA Los Angeles. After a brief stint as Head of Video production for a tech start-up, I directed my first feature, the award winning micro-budget film "Echoes", which was distributed world wide via Starz. In recent years, I began using my expertise to experiment with light itself as a means of abstract, artistic expression. This has resulted in the ongoing project "The Fabric of Light" from which my submitted work is taken.
