Philipp Fleischmann develops special cameras designed to formulate specific relations between the material of the footage (16 or 35 mm film) and the object of the recording. For instance, in his 2013 project “Main Hall,” he deconstructs the main exhibition hall of the Viennese Secession, filming the exhibition architecture with 19 individual cameras and thus creating images that show the view of the exhibition space onto itself. Fleischmann’s recent work, “Untitled (Generali Foundation Vienna)" identifies the film camera as a spacial object-form by itself. Correlating with the history of artistic interventions on site, the object is placed in the former exhibition space of the Generali Foundation at Wiedner Hauptstrasse 15, Vienna, and provided with a cinematographic view.

MovieFamily
Filmmakers Lilly Engel and Philipp Fleischmann spent five years documenting their three children Lucas, Marius and Renée. The viewer can experience them on their journey from children to teenagers - and at the same time the changes in their dreams. The film is a mixture of documentary and feature film, a childlike look into the future and an adult look back into their own past. A touching and humorous story that tells of great friendship, of growing up, and makes us laugh and think with ease and humor.

Untitled (34bsp) is a 35mm film that was shot on-site at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion, an iconic building designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer which has been the home of the Bienal de São Paulo since 1957. In this new work, which was co-produced by Phileas, Fleischmann reflects on the cultural impact of the monumental 30.000 square meter pavilion and interacts with its physical space through the medium of film, using a series of large, site-specific cameras that become sculptural forms traveling through the building from floor to ceiling.

Movie
This structuralist experiment breaks through the traditional sequence of frames and uses double exposure to shed new light on the filmstrip. Cinematographie (literally "writing with light") consists of flickering black-and-white footage of almost unrecognizable trees that appears crosswise onscreen. The film is silent with the exception of two sounds at the beginning, and the damage to the image grows increasingly intense: we see cables, hairs and dust distorting it all. Occasionally, a bleak sun shines through or human silhouettes appear in an ever faster flickering. The Austrian filmmaker Philipp Fleischmann built a circular camera obscura construction in a forest, 360 degrees around, in which the light enters through a small hole and shines on light-sensitive material. Inside the camera, he placed two 16mm filmstrips side by side: one was exposed to the world outside the camera obscura, the other to the world inside the construction.
