ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Mäusebunker is an abandoned Brutalist building that served as the Central Animal Laboratory for the Freie Universität of Berlin.  
Designed by Gerd Hänska, the Mäusebunker seems now to belong to another era and paradigm: From an era of heavy industrial materialism to one of digitalization and virtual realities. the building is waiting for its demolition in the following years. In the process, the bunker suffers a transformation, from concrete to digital, a sort of transmutation from an external-objective reality to a psychic-digital one. The Mäusebunker ends up being the manifestation of both an inner space and a digital landscape.  
Accessible to the most only through the network and the global mass media, some places suffer, de facto, from a progressive loss of materiality and conversion into pure form, in “eidos”. They become only molds for new recombinations, new plastic possibilities, pieces of a new virtual reality. This series of photographs-Digital works, made during the soft lockdown of November 2020, construct new realities and geometries with the elements of the Mäusebunker, as well as creates new contiguities and juxtapositions with other areas of Berlin, such as the Grunewald forest.  Giclée print on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl, 285 g/m²

Marc Samper studied philosophy at the University of Barcelona (UB) and a master's degree in Film Studies and Contemporary Audiovisual Culture at the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF).  
 This last year, from October 2020 to April 2021 he had a scholarship as Artist in Residence at Urban Nation Berlin. In the framework of the same, she realized the Video-art and installation project The Hanging gardens or the virtuality of the events. Haiku on screen.  
 Always trying to combine his work as a videographer and filmmaker with his own projects, in 2015 he travels to Greece to shoot what will become his first feature film, Marathonas. There, coming into contact with the music scene surrounding the Labyrinth Musical Workshops in Crete, he has the opportunity to shoot a small experimental documentary about Ross Daly and his vision of modal music, Laberint.   
 Since then he continues to make short video-art pieces as well as photography and digital artworks.  
Feeling inspired by filmmakers such as Nathaniel Dorsky, Stan Brakhage, or Val del Omar, Marc has always been interested in working the image to seek a displacement of consciousness from different phenomenological parameters. More than in the language itself, Marc is interested in the voids that circulate through it and from which one can access a "vision" from which to recompose reality and create new series of thought.
