Call for submission for Generator workshop

Oertli has been experimenting with video, video installations, documentary videos, video for dance and theater, since 1995. He was an artist in residence in Cairo 2006, and pursued collaboration on several occasions with artist from Egypt (among several others) on video projects of interdisciplinary structure that we find appropriate to bring in the collaborative energy of several artists through our workshop. His concepts usually tackle self/space exploration and impressions, which we think can be an essential approach for revitalizing the lost sense of self-awareness here and now. Christoph also pursues a parallel teaching career at HSLU Lucerne/Switzerland, that we regard as indication of instructional abilities to communicate with and guide rising artists.
