Abstract
RECEPTIVE RHYTHMS is the title of a well-balanced juxtaposition of three recent works by video artist Max Hattler. All three videos play in different ways with symmetries, with repetitions, with alienations, with breaks and with counterpoints.
The two-channel video ALL ROT (2015/2019) makes the beauty of the transient, the ephemeral visible using the example of a miniature golf course. CONCRETE ABSTRACTION: ROAD TRIPTYCH (2019) shows on three large monitors the street as canvas and the structure of living traffic as wall-filling snapshots. The nine-minute experimental animation SERIAL PARALLELS (2019) depicts the surfaces of Hong Kong's highrise architecture in an original way. The fast cut and skillful repetition takes up the perspective of a celluloid film and applies the technique of film animation to the photographic image.
All works deal with repetition and rhythm in different ways. They are ornamental and abstract at the same time. To what extent viewers rediscover the motifs used in the outside world is the challenge of receiving what they perceive: RECEPTIVE RHYTHMS.
