Joas Nebe's Page

I am a filmmaker. I am a philosopher (developing questions which have never been asked before or which are asked to often to be asked again in the same way). I am a cartoonist (finding funny solutions to the tragic questions of mankind or the tragiest solutions to the funniest question of mankind). I am a collector of old fashioned postcards (using them to create images for illustrating my funny or sad questions and answers). I am a photographer (taking pictures everywhere in order to use them to create new cartoons). That 's what i am.

And - if you like my work - i am offering you to produce your video tape FITTING AS PERFECT AS A GLOVE to YOUR MUSIC!

RECENT ART PROJECTS:

ENCYCLOPEDIC CARTOONS.

The project´s idea is base on the encyclopedia, knowledge pool of the 18th century put together in a multi volume book project. The encyclopedia aimes making world´s phenomena understandable and put them into a larger context beyond religious explanations, which usually had been the first and only world interpretations in the middle ages provided by the catholic church. By this encyclopedia is the first try in modern time shaping the world.

In our time knowledge is provided by sciencists and changes everyday. Today it would be impossible to bring together the different concepts in order to understand the world from a unique position. Nevertheless the encyclopedia is still a distinct concept, which more than in the old days presents an utopia to us.

ENCYCLOPEDIC CARTOONS provides for each letter of the alphabet a more or less abstract word. Loosely connected to the word is a single film running from a few seconds to 4 minutes. There are 26 films, for every letter one film.

This are the words, representing the aphabet. For the related films, please consult the youtube website:

NEWS:


CIRQUE AUDIVISUEL is an art event, taking place at Kolbhalle, Cologne, Germany at 5th september 2009. Curator´s aim is bringing together film and music that are not made for each other in order to create something new. Eletronic music will be combined with film works of more than 20 video artist. There will be a video art showroom, live visuals, multimedia live act and DJs will create soundtracks for three fictional short films live.


Curators have chosen my video "THE VACATION" for this event, which is one of GERMAN CARTOONS a complete new production on recent German history and what is associated with German culture in general. The project is still under construction and Party Cirque Audiovisuel is the first place to show one of the films to the public.
