Thomas Taube

Thomas Taube is a video artist. In his works, however, he liberates the medium of film from its linear and stringent narrative structure.
Using multi-channel installations and associative, reflective, and surreal sequences, Taube works against conventional cinematographic codes. By suspending the immediacy of the medium through episodic elements and discontinuous montage, familiar subjects (the night) and abstract structures (narrative) are illustrated on the one hand, while on the other hand Taube achieves a differentiation between seeing, observing, experiencing, and reflecting.
