BONGOS
Sabrina Koller, Martina Janjic, Barbara Mendez Mendez, Johanna Stefanic

Our short film explores family, creativity, the psyche, and transgenerational traumas. It deals with a father who pays little attention to his son. The boy is the complete opposite of his father, as he is still bursting with energy and creativity. The father was a bongo player, and now the only thing that the boy wants is to play this instrument as well. The father will not allow this, however, because the bongos are of a great sentimental value to him. The son responds by fleeing into his world of creativity; he withdraws to his play corner with his paper and pencil. In this world, which is shown from his perspective, he meets his father, in the form of a bongo-playing monkey.

Everyone knows it: FOMO—the fear of missing out. /_ holofear* allows us to experience this spectacle in a visual manner through an installation that shows a very hyped party that becomes more boring and desolate the closer you get to it.

Die schwarze Decke
Mary Mayrhofer

A black blanket on the floor, recognizable contours of a person who seems to be lying underneath, and on the blanket in white letters a text about the blanket as a metaphor for depression: this sculpture hits directly in the pit of the stomach in its unambiguousness and uncompromisingness.
