Movies by Yannick Mosimann

Diaphone Island

Diaphone Island

A recurring drone changes and reshapes the land and sea.

Come out of your shell

Come out of your shell

The lovingly compiled collection of shells, the life's work of Maria Cândida Consolado Macedo, comes to life in a rhythmic ritual of hand-processed 16mm footage and trancelike sounds of capiz shells.

Here are some Images

Here are some Images

“Here are some Images” is an short film exploring the interplay between internal and external images, using hand-processed 16mm footage and musings on perception and memory.

Normal Love

Normal Love

Mike and Jeanne get to know each other, meet family and friends, touch each other, sleep together, go on holiday together, celebrate birthdays and say "I love you". What complicates things between them: their relationship is based on a contract of 14 clauses that are supposed to define all areas of being together. A small video camera is their constant companion.

Piz Regolith

Piz Regolith

A postmodern Swiss-Tyrolean ensemble ventures into remote mountainous regions, embracing the sonorous variety of local vernaculars. A poetic road movie with stunning shots and an emphatic approach to a new alpine aesthetics.

Sunspots

Sunspots

In SUNSPOTS, several 16mm shots of the sun are layered and superimposed, paired with a soundscape consisting of volcanos, fire, plastic and the audible solar sounds recorded by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).

Nature.Meadow.Sky.Long Shot

Nature.Meadow.Sky.Long Shot

The defective 16mm footage in Yannick Mosimann's "Nature.Meadow.Sky.Long Shot" gives rise to eerie, abstracted images, while descriptions of those images through voiceover and onscreen text create a potent gap between what we are watching and what we’re being told is there.

Haelgung - Rea

Haelgung - Rea

The „Haelgung“ films are charmingly impressionistic diary entries, crafted as mini homages to my closest friends, captured with a delightful lack of planning or structure and edited in camera.

They witness time in longer intervalls

They witness time in longer intervalls

During a 6-hour performance and in a additional Film, REA and Yannick Mosimann dedicate themselves to the stretching of time and space based on observations of different trees. The tree, the mammoth of floral time, seems to be a gnarled, proud and place-bound existence, nevertheless in low-frequency, flowing movement. Breathing is here a symbol of time and rhythm, carrier of tonal frequencies of our vocal cords.

Scenes from an Island

Scenes from an Island

Hand-edited Lomokino 35mm footage captures scenes from an island, blending shifting textures with guitars and watery drones. A visual and sonic meditation on place and transience.

Mitzukos Dream

Mitzukos Dream

In "Mitzukos Dream" you watch sleeping people, each filmed for one night with a willdlife camera that reacts to movement. So only the active parts of sleep were captured on film - the moments when we dream?

Things many have eyes seen

Things many have eyes seen

A flickering diary of time, memory, and erosion, «Things Many Eyes Have Seen» unfolds over a month on an island. Hand-processed in salty seawater, its 16mm images dissolve and transform. The landscape flashes by in broken frames of light and shadow, as if the world itself was stuttering between memory and motion. A meditation on seeing and being seen, the film lingers like a fading dream, where observer and landscape blur into one.

Amnis Alsace

Amnis Alsace

A contemplative and musical journey which takes us along the Rhine and through the Alsatian countryside.
