VIDEO WINDOW as a guest at Zimmermannhaus Brugg presents Superposition, the new work by the prominent Swiss video artist Christoph Oertli (Basel), as a contribution to the Brugg Documentary Film Festival 2023. Following its première at the Videoex Experimental Film & Video Festival Zurich 2022, this is the first opportunity to see the work exhibited in a contemporary artistic context.
Christoph Oertli lived for many years in major foreign cities, most recently Brussels, before returning in 2017 to Switzerland, where the locations of his videos can be found. In Superposition, he is observing the world that now surrounds him with the interested eyes of the outsider. Addressing the interface between individuality and social coexistence, he examines the phenomenon of isolation, which he pursues as the leitmotiv of the film.
